Arsenal have one hand on TITLE as Pep Guardiola set to LEAVE Man City
5/19/202633 min
1-0, to the Arsenal... the famous song was sung loud and proud at the Emirates, as Arsenal beat already relegated Burnley thanks to Kai Havertz's first half header. It was another goal from a set-piece, and moved Arsenal five points clear at the top of the Premier League - with just one game to go.
Manchester City's game in hand sees them head to Bournemouth tonight, knowing that anything but a victory will see Mikel Arteta's side crowned Premier League champions. But, the build up to the match has been overshadowed by the news that Pep Guardiola is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the season.
Two seismic stories, so who better than host Angelina Kelly and talkSPORT's Chief Football Correspondent, Alex Crook, to bring you the best reaction and insight as the Premier League nears its conclusion.
Plus, they also looked ahead to tonight's other match, as Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur - with the visitors knowing that a point will all but mathematically secure their top flight status - due to their vastly superior goal difference then West Ham's.

[funky music] Hello, and welcome to the TalkSPORT Daily Podcast. I'm your host, Angelina Kelly, and alongside me is TalkSPORT's chief football correspondent, Alex Crook. And on today's episode, we will focus on Arsenal moving five points clear at the top of the Premier League as they beat Burnley 1-0. Kai Havertz was preferred to Victor Gyokeres up front, and he scored the only goal of the game in the 37th minute, a header from a corner, meaning the Gunners have now scored from a set piece in 19 different matches this season. Manchester City's game in hand is at Bournemouth tonight, and if they drop points, Arsenal will be Premier League champions. So how well has Mikel Arteta's side done to be in this position since losing 2-1 at the Etihad in April? And after the seismic news that TalkSPORT understands Manchester City are preparing for Pep Guardiola's departure, could Arteta build his own dynasty in North London? We will discuss Pep's reported impending departure shortly. But first, Crooky, it was 1-0 to the Arsenal- Mm ... and from a set piece. Was that almost a fitting way for Arsenal to put one hand on the Premier League trophy?
