Arsenal vs Burnley preview: Prediction, team news & lineups

Arsenal cruised to victory in midweek, and they’ll be hoping to saunter in a similar fashion in the Premier League on Saturday.

The signs are ominous for Vincent Kompany’s Burnley, who head into their visit to the Emirates having won just one of their opening 11 league encounters so far this season. They also became the first English top-flight side to lose their first six home games of a campaign when they were beaten by Crystal Palace last weekend.

Thus, Mikel Arteta will be confident of heading into the international break with a win under his belt.

Arsenal were twice beaten last week, but they were controlled and efficient on Wednesday night as they beat Sevilla to edge towards the Champions League round of 16.

Arsenal team news

Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu are fresh injury concerns, although neither player is expected to have sustained a major issue. Both could feature on Saturday, but they may not start.

Emile Smith Rowe, Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus, and Jurrien Timber are all out for the Gunners, while there are doubts over Eddie Nketiah and Martin Odegaard’s fitness.

Leandro Trossard should continue up top even if Nketiah returns to the fold.

Burnley team news

The Clarets are set to be without leading scorer Lyle Foster due to an illness, while fellow striker Michael Obafemi will also miss out with a hamstring injury.

Manuel Benson, Hjalmer Ekdal, and Aaron Ramsey (no, not that one) are also sidelined for the trip to north London.

Arsenal vs Burnley score prediction

This Burnley side really doesn’t have much about them, especially with Foster absent. Ben White will have his work cut out against Luca Koleosho down the Clarets’ left, however. He’s been a bright spark amid a dismal start to the season.

This once used to be a nightmare of a fixture for the Gunners, but the hosts should have no issues bypassing the visitors on Saturday. Burnley simply don’t have the tools to break Arsenal’s press and trouble a stout backline. Their own defence, meanwhile, is likely to be put under sustained pressure by the Gunners, and they have very little chance of escaping the Emirates with anything.

Prediction: Arsenal 4-0 Burnley
