What do Arsenal need to win the title?
Just a HUGE win for Arsenal.
It means that if they beat Crystal Palace on Sunday, they will be Premier League champions.
OR if Man City don’t win away at Bournemouth tomorrow, Arsenal will be champions.
It’s tantalisingly close…

FULL-TIME! Arsenal 1-0 Burnley
Hard to say that was pretty but it’s three more points for Arsenal. One more win and they’ve got a first Premier League title for 22 years.
They might not even need that, if Bournemouth can do them a favour against Man City tomorrow.
Kai Havertz’s first-half header was enough here. Unconvincing but they’ve done enough. Arsenal’s season in microcosm?

Arsenal 1-0 Burnley, 90+6 mins
Martinelli gets a chance to burst through as Gyokeres occupies a defender. But Kyle Walker, perhaps not as quick as he once was but still fast, gets back to muscle him off the ball and stop the shot. Vintage.

Arsenal 1-0 Burnley, 90+4 mins
Pires goes in with a reckless high foot on Saka and is the latest Burnley player into the book. More time off the clock as they take this free-kick.

Burnley pump the ball into the box and Flemming absolutely clatters Raya without really going for the ball.
Gabriel is furious. It’s a foul and Flemming is booked. Raya rolls around on the floor for a bit, suggesting he’s in pain, holding his back. Perhaps he is. Either way, more time ticks away.
As it does when Arsenal make another two subs. Martin Zubimendi and Gabriel Martinelli on for Odegaard and Trossard
Into seven minutes of injury time.

Lewis-Skelly gets his body across his man to win a free-kick for Arsenal. The minutes are slowly ticking by…

Gyokeres has led the press really well since coming on. Harrying Burnley and his latest effort earns an attacking throw.
Ultimately it comes to nothing though

Arsenal pushing hard, the ball worked across to Hincapie but his cross is well blocked. The “Arsenal, Arsenal” chants ring round the Emirates regardless.

Great press by Gyokeres as he closes down Burnley goalkeeper Weiss. It’s a panicked lunge to poke the ball clear in the end with the Swedish striker right on him.
Appeals from the arsenal fans behind the goal for a penalty but Weiss got the ball. Just a nervy moment for him!

Hincapie gets to the byline and is muscled off the ball by Tuanzebe. Appeals for a penalty but nothing doing.
Another Burnley sub as James Ward-Prowse comes on for Florentino. They’re not quite out of this…
