Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta declared himself the "biggest ever" Bournemouth fan after his team's victory over Burnley on Monday moved them to the brink of a first Premier League title in 22 years.

However, the title could be secured a day early. If Bournemouth avoid defeat against Manchester City on Tuesday night, Arsenal will be crowned champions without having to play their final match.
