LONDON (Interstat) — Arsenal hosts Burnley on Monday, May 18, 2026, in a Premier League matchup that pits a surging home side against a visiting squad fighting to steady a rocky season.

The Gunners enter the game at Emirates Stadium riding momentum from a 1-0 victory at West Ham United on May 10. That result extended Arsenal’s recent strong run. In their last five league matches, the north London club has posted three wins, one draw and one loss, with clean sheets in three of those outings. Their defense has been a reliable anchor, allowing just one goal over the past three games.

Burnley arrives having earned a 2-2 draw at home against Aston Villa on May 10. That result broke a three-match losing streak for the Clarets, who have struggled for consistency. Burnley has managed just one win in its last 10 league matches, a stretch that includes six losses and three draws. The club’s away form has been particularly challenging, with four losses in its last five road games.

The recent head-to-head history favors Arsenal. The Gunners defeated Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor on Nov. 1, 2025, in the most recent meeting between the sides.

A player to watch for Burnley is forward Loum Tchaouna. The 22-year-old saw limited action in the draw with Aston Villa, entering as a substitute. His pace and creativity could provide a spark off the bench for a Burnley side that has struggled to generate consistent scoring chances.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

Both teams face quick turnarounds after Monday’s match. Arsenal travels to Crystal Palace on May 24. Burnley hosts Wolverhampton the same day.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. local time at Emirates Stadium.
