Arsenal have a number of plans in place for the final home game of the season against Burnley on Monday night, including a post-match lap of appreciation.
Arsenal play their final home match of the Premier League season on Monday night, looking to maintain their lead in the title race and put one hand on the trophy.
Though the Gunners can’t win the league on Monday, a win would mean that just one of the three remaining Arsenal and Manchester City fixtures would need to go their way for the team to be crowned champions.
At that point, a City draw against Bournemouth or Villa would do it, as would a win for Arsenal against Crystal Palace. So a win against Burnley really puts the team on the brink of success.
With that in mind, the fans are planning a ‘Greet the Coach’ event pre-game, turning up at the Emirates Stadium from 17:45 BST to welcome the team buses to the ground.
Arsenal have then confirmed that the players will embark on a post-match lap of appreciation, with coverage of the event to be broadcast on Arsenal.com and The Arsenal app.
The Arsenal Supporters’ Trust report that there should be speeches from Mikel Arteta and Martin Odegaard as well. The AST add that it will be a quick transition from the match to the lap of appreciation, allowing fans time to get home afterwards.
With a pre-match greeting, a lap of appreciation, and speeches on the pitch, all that’s left is for the team to secure a win in the 90 minutes in between. That would really give the fans something to celebrate at full-time.
