Mikel Arteta to get his wish as Arsenal fans plan for raucous Emirates atmosphere in final home game | OneFootball

Arsenal fans are set to create a special atmosphere on huge night in Premier League title race

Mikel Arteta will get his wish ahead of Arsenal's match with Burnley tonight when fans once again greet the squad on their arrival to the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners host Burnley in their final home match of the season and they will attempt to take one more big step towards the Premier League title.

Victory for Arsenal would be enough to be crowned champions if Manchester City then failed to beat Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

If City do get the job done, then Arsenal will take a two-point advantaged into the final day of the season when they travel to take on Crystal Palace.

The stakes, therefore, are huge and it is set to be another raucous night in north London despite frustration at the match being moved to an 8pm kick-off on a Monday night.

The supporters will congregate outside The Armoury from 5:45pm, with the Arsenal squad and staff set to arrive at around 6:15pm.

It is hoped a similar atmosphere will be created to what was seen before the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid earlier this month.

Huge crowds lined the streets as the coaches had to crawl towards the stadium and there has been a desire both from supporters and from those within the club to replicate that.

"I loved it," Arteta said on Friday.

"I think all the players loved it. I think it builds an energy connection with them that we haven't experienced before.

"The whole preparation and the whole atmosphere showed that the level of meaning was higher and the level of implication and desire and passion from our supporters was different as well. It really helps.

Despite the late kick-off, Arsenal will still have a lap of honour as it is their final home game of the campaign.
