Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his team is ‘enthusiastic' ahead of their clash against Burnley, where a win will take them one step closer to sealing their first English Premier League title since 2004.

"The team emotionally in a really good state. We have most players available now. Everybody is so enthusiastic and so positive about the way that we can finish the season," said Arteta.

A win will give Arsenal (79 points in 36 games) a five point lead over Manchester City, with the latter having a game in hand.

The Gunners will certainly fancy their chances of clinching all three points considering Burnley are second-last in the EPL table (21 points in 36 games) and have already been relegated to the Championship.
