Arsenal v Burnley

Arsenal vs Burnley Preview

Another side lost their unbeaten record in this season's Premier League on the weekend when north London club, Arsenal, were dealt a controversial 1-0 defeat away from home at Newcastle United which put an end to The Gunners' previously impressive 10-game unbeaten tag, while Burnley were handed a fifth defeat on the trot in all competitions following a 2-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace.

That recent defeat to Newcastle United has resulted in Arsenal dropping down to fourth place in the Premier League pecking order on the table but Mikel Arteta's side know that they now have a golden opportunity to return to winning ways immediately on Saturday afternoon when they play host to top flight strugglers, Burnley.

Arsenal had previously gathered an impressive seven wins within their opening 10 league games of this new English top flight campaign which included wins on home soil against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Manchester City and Sheffield United, so the hosts will be in confident mood that they can bounce back with immediate effect at the expense of poor Burnley.

In addition, Arsenal have lost just twice in their last 28 games at the Emirates Stadium, collecting no fewer than 21 wins in the process.

Burnley therefore look to have a mountain to climb if they're to get even a point against an Arsenal side that will still be smarting about the manner of their defeat up in the north-east to The Magpies while Burnley's task is made much tougher following a fourth league defeat on the trot last weekend to Crystal Palace.

The Clarets had previously also slipped to losses against Chelsea, Brentford and Bournemouth respectively and the bigger picture doesn't fill one with much confidence either with regards Burnley's chances on Saturday as the visitors have managed to capture just one win from their previous 15 matches overall in the Premier League.

Having also succumbed to no fewer than 12 defeats within this poor sequence of results as well, it's hard to see how Vincent Kompany's side can produce a serious challenge to this solid Arsenal outfit.

Burnley have also registered just two wins from their last 12 outings on the road in the English top flight while their task is made that much harder as the visitors have failed to keep a single clean sheet so far this season.

Arsenal v Burnley Verdict

Arsenal have suffered just the one defeat out of the previous 18 meetings against Burnley and The Gunners look to hold all the aces ahead of this upcoming clash at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon as well, especially as Burnley's results away from home have been poor along with failing to keep a clean sheet.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score No @ 1.66
