The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Burnley lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsenal vs Burnley Preview
Burnley are currently in 19th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Gunners eased past Sevilla by a 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Arsenal vs Burnley Prediction
Arsenal have an excellent squad at their disposal but have not been at their inspirational best over the past month. The likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have shown marked improvement under Mikel Arteta and will need to step up to the plate this weekend.
Burnley have struggled to cope with the rigors of the top flight this season and have a point to prove in this fixture. Arsenal are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Arsenal 4-1 Burnley
