Arsenal are on the brink of ending a 22-year wait to win the English Premier League after beating Burnley 1-0 on Monday to open up a five-point lead at the top.

Striker Kai Havertz headed in the only goal (36th min), but was also lucky to avoid a second-half red card that could have swung the title race back in Manchester City's favour.

The Gunners could be crowned champs on Tuesday if City fail to beat Bournemouth. Even if City do end the Cherries's 16-game unbeaten run and beat Aston Villa, Arsenal will secure the title with a win at Crystal Palace on Sunday. "One more to go. We've done our job. Now we have to wait and see what happens when City play Bournemouth and then it's time to prepare for the Palace game."
