Arsenal – Burnley

Arsenal will look to win two consecutive Premier League games for the first time this season when they meet Burnley at the Emirates.

The Gunners defeated Sunderland 2-0 last round on the road, after previously getting a dramatic 2-1 win at Anderlecht in the Champions League. These were two key wins for Arsenal after a string of poor results and will give the Gunners hope they can turn the season around. Arsenal was not poor so far, but a tough draw and a bit of inconsistency have sent them to the 5th place, with 3 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss.

Burnley looks destined for relegation, they are yet to win a game this season and have just 4 points in 9 rounds. The visitors are totally inapt in the offensive department, scoring no more than 5 goals and have lost the last two games against West Ham and Everton – both at home, both 1-3. Barnsley`s last 3 defeats all came by a form of handicap.

Team news & lineups

Arsenal again decimated by injuries, with Koscielny, Ospina, Ozil, Debuchy, Diaby, Giroud, Gnabry and Sanogo all being unvailable. Gibbs and Wilshere are doubtful, but on the bright side Walcott and Ramsey will return to the lineup, with big chances for both to start (Ramsey will start almost 100%). Burnley will have to do without Reid, Taylor and Vokes, while Marney is doubtful.

Arsenal: Szczesny – Bellerin, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal – Arteta, Ramsey – Walcott, Sánchez, Cazorla – Welbeck.

Burnley: Heaton – Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Mee – Boyd, Arfield, Jones, Marney – Ings, Jutkiewicz.

Arsenal is in big need of making a statement, they need a big, solid win to give them confidence and back up the last two results. There really could not be a better chance for this than against Burnley. The visitors clearly have the weakest roster in the league, they proved they are not up to Premier League standards right now and are in poor form. Really can’t see Burnley troubling a top team on the road and I expect Arsenal, with Ramsey and Walcott, to be all over Burnley today. Upsets happen, but as far as I`m concerned there`s absolutely no argument for Burnley to pull of something here. My tip is Arsenal to win with a 1,5 goal handicap. Honestly I was expecting lower odds for an Arsenal win, so I`m comfortable taking this bet with maximum stakes. Prediction: Arsenal – Burnley 3-0.
