Burnley v Arsenal: match preview

Arsenal will be raring to sink their teeth into Burnley after a fantastic comeback victory against Leicester last week. The extras came to the fore in style, so with Bukayo Saka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back in the fold Sean Dyche’s side look heavily outgunned. But that is nothing new. On paper Burnley always look undermatched and those cunning Clarets have already beaten Arsenal at the Emirates this season. Mikel Arteta’s side often stumble after a good display, Dyche will be counting on forcing a fall to keep the Burnley locomotive chugging for another Premier League season. Graham Searles
