Dick Campbell's side need a maximum of six points to guarantee the title and will get over the line this weekend if they beat local rivals Forfar Athletic at Station Park and closest challengers Raith Rovers lose to East Fife at Bayview.
The Red Lichties have a 13-point lead at the top and have lost just once on their travels as they close in on a return to the Championship for the first time since 2002/03.
If Arbroath are made to wait on Saturday their next opportunity will be against Montrose at Gayfield on Saturday April 6.
