Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the match with a header in the first half, although the German midfielder was fortunate to avoid a red card after a controversial second-half challenge.
The victory puts Arsenal in a strong position in the title race and they could be crowned champions if Manchester City fail to secure a win against AFC Bournemouth.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his team’s efforts and said the focus remains on completing the job in the final stages of the season.
The Gunners found it difficult to break down Burnley despite dominating large periods of the match. Arsenal created several opportunities before Havertz rose highest to head home a delivery from Bukayo Saka in the 37th minute.
The hosts faced a major scare in the second half when Havertz caught Lesley Ugochukwu with a mistimed challenge, but after a review, officials decided not to upgrade the yellow card to a dismissal.
Despite a tense finish, Arsenal maintained their defensive discipline and secured another clean sheet. Since losing to Manchester City last month, the club has not conceded a goal in its last four league matches.
Meanwhile, reports also suggested that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola could leave the club after a decade-long spell, adding further intrigue to the closing stages of the season.
