Arsenal host Burnley at the Emirates Stadium in a huge Premier League match on Monday 18 May 2026, with kick-off listed at 20:00 BST. It is Arsenal’s second-last league game of the season, meaning the pressure is massive.
Pain in the Arsenal
Arsenal come into this game chasing the title, while Burnley’s away form has been poor.
Burnley have collected only nine away points this season and have conceded 45 goals in 18 away matches, making them one of the weakest away defensive sides in the league.
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal have defensive injury problems. Ben White is out with a serious knee injury and is not expected to play again this season. That means Cristhian Mosquera is likely to start at right-back.
Riccardo Calafiori is a doubt after coming off at half-time against West Ham. Martin Ødegaard could return to the starting XI after impressing from the bench, where he assisted Leandro Trossard’s winner against West Ham.
Up front, Viktor Gyökeres is expected to continue leading the line after strong form, keeping Kai Havertz on the bench.
Prediction
Arsenal should have too much quality, especially at home. Burnley can make it uncomfortable if Arsenal become nervous, but the form, attacking power and title motivation all point one way.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Burnley
Best betting angle: Arsenal win
Safer pick: Arsenal win & over 1.5 goals
Possible scorer: Viktor Gyökeres or Bukayo Saka
