Arsenal are now just one step away from clinching the Premier League title after securing a crucial 1-0 victory over Burnley today in their penultimate match of the season (Matchday 37).

The Gunners have now accumulated 82 points, placing them at the top of the league standings. Their fate now hinges on Manchester City's anticipated match tomorrow, Tuesday (20:00 GMT+1), against hosts Bournemouth, which could bring good news for the London club's fans.

Arsenal (82 points) have one match remaining, an away fixture against Crystal Palace at the weekend. In contrast, City (77 points) have two games left: a challenging encounter tomorrow against Bournemouth, followed by a home match against Aston Villa on the final matchday.

Arsenal will be crowned Premier League champions tomorrow, Tuesday, if City draw or lose against Bournemouth. This would allow them to approach the final matchday with less pressure, free from the imperative to win and the risk of losing the title in the very last game.

Arsenal has endured a "lean spell," having not won the Premier League title since 2004 (22 years ago), despite having lifted the trophy 13 times in their history.
