Team News
Burnley
Manager Scott Parker is expected to stick with a similar lineup to the one that won at Wolves. Zian Flemming will likely lead the attack again after his impressive two-goal performance. Unfortunately, the Clarets remain short in defence. Key players Jordan Beyer, Zeki Amdouni, and Connor Roberts are all still unavailable due to injury.
Arsenal
Mikel Arteta is managing a growing injury list ahead of this trip. Both Gabriel Martinelli (muscular) and William Saliba (knock) are major doubts for the match. Furthermore, the Gunners are still without their long-term absentees. These include Gabriel Jesus, captain Martin Odegaard, and Kai Havertz. In the attack, Leandro Trossard is expected to start in the front three.
Form
Burnley
Burnley’s survival hopes have received a major boost. Consecutive wins over Leeds and Wolves have moved them to 16th, five points clear of the relegation zone. However, they face a huge challenge against Arsenal today. In fact, Scott Parker’s side have won just one of their 18 Premier League meetings against the Gunners.
Arsenal
The Gunners are in formidable form. In fact, they have won their last seven matches in all competitions. As a result, they sit four points clear at the top of the league. Additionally, they boast the division’s best defence, having conceded only three goals all season. Arsenal have also won their last 13 straight games against promoted sides.
Predicted Lineups
Possible Burnley starting XI: Dúbravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Estève, Hartman; Florentino, Cullen; Bruun Larsen, Ugochukwu, Anthony; Flemming
Possible Arsenal starting XI: Raya; Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
