Arsenal can take a giant leap towards the Premier League title with a win over Burnley tonight.
The Gunners still sit top of the standings, and can win the crown for the first time since 2004 as early as Tuesday evening, should they beat Scott Parker’s side and Manchester City fail to topple Bournemouth.
Excitement is building in North London as the wait looks finally set to come to an end, but there are still two games that Arsenal must win to guarantee the silverware.
