Arsenal cannot afford to lose or draw when they face Burnley this evening.
Arsenal remain in control of the Premier League title race, holding a two-point lead over Manchester City, who no longer have a game in hand.
Arsenal, however, can continue to lead the title race and March towards their goal of becoming champions if they grind out a win against already relegated Burnley. Arsenal have won four of their last five games and will look to continue that form this evening.

Burnley come into this fixture with nothing to play for, except for the fact that they don’t want to finish last in the Premier League table. In the Premier League, Burnley have one draw from their last six games, losing five in a row until last week, when they drew Aston Villa.
With Burnley also capable of causing an upset, this game presents a unique challenge for Arsenal, who have all to play for.
