Burnley host Arsenal at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon as they bid to end the Gunners’ impressive eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions

By Ross Kilvington

Arsenal’s set piece success has them flying

So far this season, Arsenal have scored 11 goals via set pieces. Such is their effectiveness from a dead-ball situation under Mikel Arteta, a total of 85 Premier League goals have been scored since start of the 2020/21 campaign via this route.

With such physicality in their squad, players such as Gabriel have reaped the rewards and Jamie Carragher has even dubbed the defender “the most influential player in the league”.

They might not play the most aesthetically pleasing football, but Arsenal are winning games and that is all that matters.

Defensively, the club have conceded just three goals this season across all competitions. Keep this sort of form up, and Arteta will be celebrating Arsenal’s first title since 2004.

Burnley had adapted well to the Premier League

Following a Championship winning season in 2022/23, Burnley struggled in the top flight, winning just 24 points as they went straight back down.

It was a case of Déjà vu for the club as they sealed yet another promotion last term. This time round, however, Scott Parker has them playing football which could see the Turf Moor side remain in the Premier League.

With ten points from nine matches, Burnley occupy 16th in the table, five points clear of the relegation zone.

Parker’s men head into the clash with the leaders having won two league games in a row. Pulling off a shock result this weekend might be beyond them, yet Burnley will make things tough for the away side, that much is certain.

Team news

Parker will be missing three players for this vital clash at Turf Moor on Saturday. Jordan Byer and Connor Roberts will be absent until the beginning of January at the earliest.

For Zeki Amdouni, however, it will be a major surprise if he returns before the start of April due to having surgery on an ACL injury.

Arsenal will still be without captain Martin Ødegaard, who sustained a keen injury against West Ham United earlier this month.

Elsewhere, Noni Madueke is out, while Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba doubts for the Burnley clash.

Both will be tested on Friday ahead of the match to see if they are fit to play.

Prediction

It is hard to see anything but an Arsenal win on Saturday, especially given their growing confidence amid Liverpool’s struggles.

With a four-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table, a victory at Turf Moor could see them stretch this lead to seven points if other results go their way.

As proven several times this season, Parker’s charges wont make things easy for the Gunners, but Arteta and his side should have more than enough to continue their winning streak.

We at FotMob predict a vital 2-0 win for the away side.
