The Arsenal Supporter's Trust (AST) has said it is "disappointed" that the Gunners' final home game of the season against Burnley has been moved. Arsenal were originally scheduled to take on the Clarets on Sunday 17 May but this has now been moved back a day to Monday 18 May with the game selected for TV coverage. The home game is the last chance that supporters will have to see their side play in the Premier League at home and if results fall in Arsenal's favour, it could prove the fixture where they win the league.

The Arsenal Supporter's Trust (AST) has said it is "disappointed" that the Gunners' final home game of the season against Burnley has been moved.

Arsenal were originally scheduled to take on the Clarets on Sunday 17 May but this has now been moved back a day to Monday 18 May with the game selected for TV coverage.

The home game is the last chance that supporters will have to see their side play in the Premier League at home and if results fall in Arsenal's favour, it could prove the fixture where they win the league.

The AST went on to say in their statement that the time of the game "creates clear difficulties for both sets of supporters", with the late finish making it tough for fans to plan their journeys home using public transport.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has said he is "not surprised" that supporters are not happy with the change and that the team also will have to adapt to the situation.

He explained: "It's the last home game of the season - you want to play at the weekend, and I think the time and the date were set, and now it's been changed. So it's not ideal, especially for our supporters.

"But the TV has the right to do so. So they've done it.

"But unfortunately, we're going to have to adapt to that as well. And play our game. And try to have everybody in that stadium in the same manner, with the same energy. Because obviously, we know what is at stake."
