Mikel Arteta’s team are just two wins away from the club’s first league title in 22 years, and the next two weeks could be the biggest in Arsenal’s history.

Ahead of the match at the Emirates Stadium, former City and current Burnley star has been speaking about upsetting the North London club.

Kyle Walker is hoping to upset Arsenal and help Manchester City on Monday evening by getting a result with Burnley in North London.

Michael Jackson’s team are already down and are only playing for pride, but Walker is keen for them to show some fight at the Emirates.

Arsenal have already beaten Burnley once this season, with Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Magalhaes scoring in a 2-0 win back in November.

Ahead of the match, Walker told Viaplay: “Oh, I think it’s always good. As a professional, these are the games you want to play, and you want to test yourself against the best.

“I think these are the games that you need to relish. Obviously, being an ex-Tottenham and Manchester City player, I hope to do them a favour.

“But it’s not just going to count on me, it’s going to count on the full team to get a result, going to a difficult place like the Emirates.”

Burnley have failed to win any of their last ten Premier League matches and have lost seven times during that run of games.

Although last weekend, they did manage to stun Aston Villa by holding them to a 2-2 draw at Turf Moor and also made life very difficult for City just under a month ago.

The Gunners cannot afford to take Burnley lightly and will need to be all guns blazing in N5 tonight.
