Final Arsenal home game moved in Premier League title race twist | OneFootball

The Gunners could clinch a first league trophy under the lights at the Emirates

The Gunners will host Burnley in an 8pm kick-off on May 18 to end the penultimate weekend of the campaign.

Manchester City are not in league action due to their FA Cup final involvement against Chelsea on May 16.

With Pep Guardiola's side having fixtures against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth rearranged, there is every chance the title race will go down to the final weekend of the season.

Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace on the final day, potentially just a few days before the Eagles play in the Conference League final.

City host Aston Villa, a side they dramatically came from two goals down to beat in 2022 to snatch the Premier League title in the final minutes of the season.

Mikel Arteta's side have only two home matches remaining in the run-in. They host Fulham on Saturday, in between the Champions League semi-final tie with Atletico Madrid, and then face Burnley a fortnight later.

The Gunners had been set to face the Clarets on May 17, with most Premier League fixtures taking place on the Sunday to avoid clashing with the FA Cup.

However, Arsenal have been given their first Monday night slot since beating Sheffield United 6-0 in March 2024.

It is a decision that will unpopular among fans, particularly Burnley supporters who now face incredibly difficult travel arrangements.

There will be many Arsenal fans who have had their plans disrupted too.

The final home game of the season is followed by a lap of honour by the players, staff and their families.

However, it will be harder for supporters relying on public transport to stay in the stadium for that after an 8pm match.
