How both teams go into Burnley vs Arsenal
Burnley are in 16th place with 10 points through nine matches. The Clarets also won their last Premier League match 3-2 at Molineux Stadium against Wolves. Scott Parker will be satisfied with how his side have started the campaign, but will know there is a long way to go if his side are to avoid relegation and remain in the Premier League for next season.
Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 at home in their last league match to extend their unbeaten streak to six, putting them atop the table on 22 points, four points clear of Bournemouth through nine matches. Mikel Arteta’s men are the odds-on favourites to lift the top-flight trophy for the first time since 2004 and are well fancied to get the win on Saturday.
Burnley team news
Scott Parker will be without Connor Roberts, Jordan Beyer and Zeki Amdouni, who are all long-term absentees.
Arsenal team news
Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard will all miss the trip to East Lancashire. William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli are a doubt.

Conclusion: Will Arsenal’s class prove too much?
Arsenal’s blend of defensive steel and attacking variety makes them deserved favourites for this fixture, and their record against Burnley is nothing short of commanding. The hosts’ leaky defence and low chance creation suggest an uphill battle. Backing both teams to score: no, 4/7 @ Bet365 (77.8%) looks a sound foundation for any bet builder or accumulator this weekend.
