Arsenal are in with a good chance of winning the Premier League and need to accumulate maximum points against weaker opponents. The match against Burnley is such a match.
Despite being a guest at Turf Moor, Arsenal's goal is still 3 points to chase Liverpool and Man City.
Burnley vs Arsenal Prediction
Despite their poor form and second-to-last position in the Premier League, Burnley’s board of directors still have full faith in coach Vincent Kompany. The club understands that Kompany is the best option available and he is still dedicated to the team. Burnley only has that many players and it will not be easy for them to survive in the fierce relegation battle.
Saka is in impressive form.
Burnley will likely be without Lylu Foster, Koleosho and Jordan Beyer in their match against Arsenal this weekend. In return, coach Kompany received good news as Maxime Esteve and Charlie Taylor could return from injury. The presence of this pair of defenders significantly strengthens Burnley's defense.
The team knows they have no choice but to concentrate on defending. Even if they have the chance to counter-attack quickly, Burnley need to consider the number of players up front. When they are in the vortex of the relegation race, a point against a strong team like Arsenal can be considered a success.
On the other side of the front line, Arsenal have reason to worry as the two main full-backs Zinchenko and Tomiyasu are both out of the field due to injury. The ability of Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus to play is very low. Coach Mikel Arteta has prepared many options to replace the pillars.
Kiwior could start at left-back. Kai Havertz is a good option as a target man in place of Jesus. Leandro Trossard could feature on the right flank or as an attacking midfielder. It depends on whether Martinelli plays.
Overall, facing Burnley is still a "not too difficult" match for coach Mikel Arteta and his team. As long as they take advantage of their opportunities and defend well, victory is still within their reach.
Burnley vs Arsenal form
Arsenal have been playing well recently, winning four consecutive Premier League matches. However, in their last six matches, the Gunners have also lost two.
Burnley are going through a difficult time, losing 4 and drawing 2 of their last 6 matches. They need to improve their form if they want to avoid relegation.
Prediction: Burnley 0-3 Arsenal
Expected lineup:
Burnley: Trafford; Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve, Delcroix; Odobert, Berge, Brownhill, Bruun Larsen; Amdouni, Datro Fofana
Arsenal: Raya; Ben White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Martin Odegaard, DeclanRice, Havertz; Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli
