Arsenal takes on Burnley with every point a necessity. The staunch Burnley defense will be tough to pierce, but here are all the ways to watch.

Arsenal’s quest for Premier League glory returns to the Emirates, where they will take on midtable Burnley. The Gunners traveled to Turf Moor in the earlier parts of the year and scraped out a 1-0 win in what was a hugely defensive match.

Burnley has a strong back line and they have maximized it’s potency with their defensive set-up. They shut Liverpool down at Turf Moor to a 2-0 defeat and that late winner by Arsenal was all about luck, as the Ox kicked the ball into Koscielny’s face in the dying minutes and it ricocheted into the back of the net.

But that was all at Turf Moor. This is at the Emirates, where Burnley will not be able to exact the same sort of closed-quarters defensive scheme to the same effectiveness. Sean Dyche’s club is not the same away from home and traveling to the Emirates could result in a lopsided affair, but then again, I have said these things before and the Gunners have shown up like sloths.

Still, Burnley does not enact the most offensive push back and guys like Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka will have that needed time and space to do their business. Without too much pressure, at least on paper the Gunners have all the tools to make this an easy match, take home the three points, and not look back.

That being said, crazier things have happened. Sam Vokes physicality makes me nervous on set pieces because he has shown an affinity for rising above opposing defenders. the Gunner’s defenders aren’t the tallest.

Andre Gray is a quick-strike attacker who could find space on a counter attack to burst free on a breakaway.

There are threats on Burnley that the Gunner’s have to be keenly aware of and a lot of neutralizing those threats comes from the midfield set up. Busting up counters is an important part of this match and Francis Coquelin is a specialist in this facet of the game. But do we deviate from Aaron Ramsey so quickly?

And what does Theo Walcott’s return mean? Arsenal will have to choose two of the following: Walcott, Giroud, Iwobi. It will be interesting to see what Wenger opts for.

Anyway, here are all the ways to watch the match:
