After a tough start back to life in the Premier League, Burnley are now starting to look like they belong here with successive victories over Leeds and Wolves.

The triumph over Wolves was particular impressive, as they scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner. 

These wins leave them five points clear of the bottom three, and they are now chasing three straight PL victories for the first time since April 2022.

However, Burnley have often found it difficult to get results against the traditional top-six, as they lost all six home games against such sides the last time they were in the top flight.

Arsenal look like a team on a mission, posing the league’s best defence with three goals conceded. 

The Gunners extended their winning streak against Crystal Palace with a 1-0 victory last weekend, while a much-rotated Arsenal side defeated Brighton 2-0 in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

On the road, Mikel Arteta’s side have been solid, losing just one in their last 18 such league games (10W, 7D).

Burnley have faced Arsenal more times at home in the Premier League without ever recording a victory than any other opponent, drawing three and losing six. Notably, four of Arsenal’s wins at Turf Moor have come by a narrow 1-0 margin.

Arsenal have won 23 of their last 24 Premier League games against newly-promoted opposition (L1), while Burnley last beat any top-six side in February 2022.

Zeki Amdouni (knee), Jordan Beyer (hamstring), and Connor Roberts (groin) are sidelined for Burnley, while Lesley Ugochukwu limped off late in the win at Molineux, making him a doubt.

Meanwhile, the Gunners will remain without captain Martin Odegaard and winger Noni Madueke, who are both injured.

Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are both recovering from knee issues, while William Saliba was taken off due to an injury against Palace.

Gabriel Martinelli missed the win over Brighton due to an injury, and is looking to recover in time for this clash.

Burnley: Dubravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman; Florentino, Cullen; Bruun Larsen, Ugochukwu, Anthony; Flemming

Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard

Burnley have seen their games average more goals than any other team in the PL bar Liverpool this season.

However, given Arsenal’s mean defence and efficient attack, this game might not see a lot of goals, with the Gunners picking up the win.
