Arsenal will travel to Turf Moor this weekend to face Burnley in the Premier League as the first round of November fixtures gets underway. The Gunners, who currently sit at the top of the table, are undoubtedly looking to extend their lead and maintain their impressive early-season form.
Mikel Arteta’s men moved four points clear at the summit last weekend after taking advantage of another Liverpool slip-up. Arsenal’s clash with Crystal Palace was far from easy, as the Eagles kept things tight and offered little space in open play.
However, a familiar strength came to Arsenal’s rescue, their dominance from set pieces. Former Palace star Eberechi Eze marked his first league goal for the Gunners to give them the lead.
From there, Arsenal comfortably saw out the game, demonstrating the defensive solidity that has seen them concede only three league goals so far this season.
Their momentum carried into midweek as they recorded a routine 2-0 win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup. Despite resting several key players, Arsenal still managed a composed and professional performance, advancing without any fresh injury concerns.
Burnley, meanwhile, come into the game in high spirits after a strong run of form. Scott Parker’s side have earned back-to-back league victories, pulling themselves five points clear of the relegation zone.
Their dramatic 3-2 win away at Wolves was particularly memorable, with Zian Flemming scoring twice before Lyle Foster sealed the win in stoppage time. That result marked Burnley’s first away triumph of the season, and they’ll be eager to build on that momentum at home.
Team News.
Arteta has provided mixed updates on key players Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and William Saliba, who were all substituted against Palace. Their replacements, Christhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie, and Mikel Merino, performed admirably, proving Arsenal’s depth is as strong as ever.
