Premier League predictions and best bets: Arsenal to take one step closer to Premier League title

Our football betting expert Jones Knows offers his insight ahead of another exciting weekend of Premier League action.

Arsenal are now within touching distance. Mikel Arteta's side know the equation. Beat already-relegated Burnley at the Emirates before a final-day trip to a Crystal Palace side likely to have one eye firmly fixed on their cup final. It's opened up beautifully.

This Burnley clash looks about as close to a mismatch as the Premier League can offer. The Clarets have won just one of their last 27 league games. The market has Burnley at 18/1 - a price that would make an away victory the biggest shock result in Premier League history based on pre-match odds.

I'd expect Arsenal to start aggressively, pin Burnley deep early and simply overwhelm them through territory and pressure.

Everything points towards a routine home win and potentially a very one-sided evening.
