Arsenal are getting closer to ending a 22-year drought without winning the Premier League. With a two-point lead over Manchester City, the Gunners face Burnley at the Emirates Stadium this Monday, in their penultimate game of the 2025-26 season.

A key victory at home

Mikel Arteta’s team hosts Burnley in what will be their last home game of the campaign. A victory would take them to 82 points, five more than City, although Pep Guardiola’s team has two games in hand. If they win, Arsenal would take a firm step towards the title.

RelatedCity gives a definitive blow in the race for the Premier

City visit Bournemouth on Wednesday and close the season against Aston Villa at the Etihad. However, Arsenal depend on themselves to lift the trophy.

Break hegemony and make history

An Arsenal championship would break a streak of eight seasons in which Manchester City (six) and Liverpool (two) shared the titles. It would also be the first league title since the 2003-2004 season, when the Gunners were unbeaten under Arsène Wenger.

If they were crowned, Arsenal would reach 15 titles in the history of English football, placing them five behind Manchester United and Liverpool, and also five behind City, their closest pursuer. They would still be the third winningest team in England.

Match details

Arsenal vs Burnley will be played this Monday, May 18 at 1:00 p.m. (central Mexico time) at the Emirates Stadium, broadcast on HBO Max. The London team will seek to say goodbye to its fans with a victory that brings it closer to glory.

Egypt returns to the 2026 World Cup with history and renewed leadership

Egypt, the first African country in a World Cup, returns in 2026 with key friendlies.

| 2 mins reading

The Egyptian national team, affiliated with CAF, is part of Group G on the road to the 2026 World Cup. Known as The Pharaohs, it is under the technical direction of Hossam Hassan and has Mohamed Salah as captain. Their home stadium is Misr Stadium and their FIFA code is EGY.

Preparation with high-level friendlies

In the March 2026 window, Egypt played two friendly matches: against Saudi Arabia (March 27) and against Spain (March 31). These dates are part of the adjustment calendar for the tournament. The squad statistics, with caps and goals, were updated after the match against Spain.

A World Cup milestone that lasts

Egypt has qualified for the World Cup four times: 1934, 1990, 2018 and 2026. It was the first African country to qualify for a World Cup. In their debut in 1934 they lost 4-2 against Hungary, with two goals from Abdulrahman Fawzi. This background highlights the relevance of its presence in 2026.

Leadership and individual records

The captaincy falls to forward Mohamed Salah, a Liverpool figure, in a period led by Hossam Hassan as coach. Historically, the team was formed in 1920 and was the first African team to compete in the Olympic Games (Belgium), with an initial defeat against Italy.

Egypt returns to the World Cup scene with a trajectory that combines tradition and renewal. The recent friendlies help define the group that will seek to overcome the group stage for the first time in its history.
