When are Arsenal playing this weekend? Gunners fans must wait for key Burnley clash

Arsenal are going to have to wait a little longer than usual to take a step closer to winning the Premier League title this weekend.

The Gunners are on the brink of ending their 22-year wait for top-flight silverware and they know what they need to do.

Mikel Arteta‘s side simply need to win their last two games of the season and they will be crowned champions.

It would take even less than that if Manchester City slip up against Crystal Palace in their game in hand on Wednesday.

Their upcoming clash with Burnley could potentially wrap things up – and here’s when it will be taking place…

When are Arsenal playing this weekend?

Arsenal vs Burnley is scheduled for 8pm on Monday, May 18.

It is the third-last game of the penultimate gameweek of the Premier League season.

The clash at the Emirates comes as part of a much-changed set of weekend fixtures, due to the FA Cup final.

Games are being played from 12:30pm, 3pm and 5:30pm on Sunday, rather than Saturday, in a strange switch.

But in a more usual slot on Monday, it’s Arsenal in action, and talkSPORT will have exclusive live coverage.

Commentary from North London will come from Sam Matterface and former England striker Darren Bent.

Arsenal vs Burnley: What has been said?

Arsenal boss Arteta was delighted to see his side beat West Ham last weekend, but he knows the job’s not done yet.

He labelled the meeting with Burnley ‘the only important thing’.

The Gunners manager said: “Amazing. I feel so happy, so proud.

“Relieved as well, because we knew the difficulty of the game, but we’ve done it. It’s been a phenomenal week in every sense.

“What the team has done, the way we’ve played, the way we have approached games. Then what our supporters have done for us this season, all week and today as well. It’s phenomenal.

“I think it changes the energy of the team and we have to live in the present now and just think about Burnley.

“Because that’s the only important thing.”
