Arsenal will travel to Burnley on Saturday in hopes of continuing their recent resurgence and chasing European places.
A comeback win over Benfica last week was followed by an impressive 3-1 win at Leicester, but Mikel Arteta’s men remain 10th in the Premier League table this season.
Meanwhile, Burnley’s loss could leave the Clarets looking over their shoulders with just six points currently separating them from Fulham in the relegation zone.
Sean Dyche’s men will take heart as they won the reverse game at the Emirates 1-0 earlier this season.

Burnley vs Arsenal: team news
Jack Cork could add to Burnley’s injury worries for Arsenal’s visit.
The midfielder played with a hamstring problem in the midweek draw with Leicester and needs to be assessed with Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Robbie Brady, who are in great shape.
Forward Ashley Barnes, however, remains out.
Arsenal are hoping to have Emile Smith Rowe available.
The attacking midfielder suffered a muscle injury in the 3-1 win at Leicester, but manager Mikel Arteta doesn’t think that’s a serious problem.
The Gunners have no other fitness issues as Bukayo Saka and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are calling for callbacks that were dropped off the bench last time around.
