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 clash at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Burnley vs Arsenal Preview
Burnley are currently in 19th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Gunners thrashed West Ham United by a comprehensive 6-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
