Arsenal beat Burnley, overcoming another obstacle, and the championship is now closer than ever. It wasn't an easy victory there was only one goal for Arsenal, making it a tense match. Although that goal was scored early by Havertz, the tension didn't subside in the following minutes because Arsenal didn't score the other goal that would have eased the pressure – or rather, couldn't score. Their 22-year championship drought is now very close to ending.

Burnley was not a strong opponent. Arsenal won this  match easily. They took advantage of the  opponent's weakness. But arsenal won by  a narrow margin of 1-0 .

Burnley was  not able to make a single on target shot in the entire match. It can be understood from this that the team is not a strong team at all. Even their performance was  very weak. If burnley's attack  was a little stronger, Arsenal would have been under some  pressure. Arsenal's performance in this match was organized and stable.

This Arsenal game started off with a stubborn Burnley trying to prove to themselves that they can break the hearts of the home team, but because of the mounting pressure, Burnley could not hold on any more and Arsenal found the back of the net ..now game is still going with only 1 goal to show for and don't expect more to come.. and playing from the Emirates I don't see the Gunners losing this game either.. well-done Arsenal 

Crystal Palace over to you gent's, do your best  

I think arsenal might have a tough time winning Crystal palace because if they could not win Burnley easily even when they had home advantage I don't think they might win crystal palace. Burnley did their best not to allow arsenal, their only game play against them was to play defense but unfortunately that didn't work. Let's wait and see how arsenal performs in their next match, I predict that it would be tough for them.

Arsenal will watch the match of Manchester City as they will win the title if Manchester City lose this match against Bournemouth. I guess Manchester City will not lose to Bournemouth but a draw is possible even chance for it is small. Manchester City are strong and experienced enough to beat Bournemouth especially when they know that losing more points at the 37th match day is like losing a title to Arsenal.

Firstly we have to watch and wait for a result from Manchester City before thinking of what will happen with both Arsenal and Manchester City in their last matches next week. Arsenal have already done almost everything they can to win a title, only one more match day and if they win it they will take a title, while if Manchester City lose to Bournemouth, Arsenal will win the title before a last match day.

Manchester City, doesn't seem like they will drop points at this time they need it the most, arsenal had 2 jobs today and they only did 1, they got three points good, but they failed to accumulate goals to secure the future, i wouldn't completely blame them because burnley's defence was very strong today, and if not for that set piece I'm not sure arsenal would have won the match, but the big question now is that, is this how they want to play Crystal Palace?

If this is how they choose to get the Job done against Crystal palace, then that's their choice. What matters most is the result. Infact, we're yet to see the results of Manchester City's game, because that alone will determine if we're still going to talk about the Palace game or not. A lot of things are currently at stake here, but Manchester City are in a more tighter position. Morever, it was a brilliant set piece goal. Probably one of the very best they've scored this season, especially against a side that was willing to play a low block game to get at most a draw.

Talking about goals, Manchester City played a 1-0 the last time, Chelsea played a 1-1 at Stanford bridge, Spurs played a 2-2 draw, Liverpool played a 1-1 draw at Anfied, Manchester United played a 2-2 draw, so I clearly don't see why Arsenal's lack of goal in the game should be a big deal here. A lot of us seem to forget how tough the premier league can be, especially when it comes to Arsenal. Even bigger teams had similar experiences with this same Burnley. And again, yesterday was just another day in the office where Arsenal made sure their opponent doesn't get a single shot on target... We don't talk about how good a team needs to be in order to do that in a football game.

Arsenal will watch the match of Manchester City as they will win the title if Manchester City lose this match against Bournemouth. I guess Manchester City will not lose to Bournemouth but a draw is possible even chance for it is small.

A game between a side that is trying to cement its place in European competition, and a side contending for the title... It's definitely going to be a massive one. But just so you know, Arsenal fans aren't even interested in a Bournemouth win.... A draw is enough to make them champions tonight, though a win would also be welcome.
