Arsenal vs Burnley Premier League preview: How to watch, lineups, transfers, & prediction
Arsenal are still licking the wounds of a disappointing Carabao Cup exit as focus shifts to a crucial Premier League visit of Burnley on Sunday. Here is the match preview.
Having battled so hard to grind out a 0-0 draw in the first leg, Arsenal’s final hope of silverware this season was extinguished in comfortable fashion as Liverpool ran out deserved 2-0 winners.
Starting brightly on Thursday night, Alexandre Lacazette saw a free-kick hit the crossbar in what turned out to be the closest the hosts would come to scoring. While the opening goal could have been defended better, it was the clever build-up play from the Reds and a fine run from Jota that needed commending.
Fatigue set in early on as Mikel Arteta’s side began losing their control, and as the game opened up after the break the second Liverpool goal felt inevitable.
Arsenal have now gone eight hours and 35 minutes of play since they last scored a goal against Liverpool in all competitions.#ARSLIV

Arsenal vs Burnley Premier League preview: Top four fight goes on for Mikel Arteta’s side after disappointing 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool
It would eventually fall to Jota once again, ending dreams of a Wembley date with Chelsea in February.
But there is no time to wallow in the defeat. It’s tough to take and sees Arsenal end January not in any cup competition for the first time since 1989/90. Equally, the Gunners now have three times as many red cards as they do goals in 2022. There are areas to be concerned about.
However, it’s all about rallying behind the team on Sunday. The quest for the top four continues and with it being the only competition left there can be no excuses if silly points are dropped in matches where the club are expected to win.
And there is no shirking that this is a game Arsenal should be coming away from with three points. They may have played fewer games than those around them, but Burnley sit bottom of the division and have struggled for any form across the whole season. Losing their main striker to Newcastle has knocked them for six and they have just the solitary victory all season.
The only way to forget about Thursday is to put in a solid performance on Sunday and maintain the charge for top four football. The show must go on.
