Arsenal looks to register their first back-to-back win in the Premier League this weekend when they travel to Burnley. The match schedules for Saturday afternoon at Turf Moor with kickoff at 5 pm.
Mikel Arteta took some pressure off his shoulder with a scraped 1-0 win over Norwich last weekend at the Emirates. On the other hand, Burnley continues their winless start to the Premier League following a 3-1 loss to Everton.
Sean Dyche seemed to be cruising to a draw last Monday night against the Toffees. However, the Clarets took their feet off the gas pedal during the dyeing minutes while falling victim to an Andros Townsend strike.
Afterward, Michael Keane leveled things with Demarai Gray, sealing off the night. The defeat marked the fourth in three games. The Clarets find themselves 18th on the table.
On the other hand, things seemed to turn in favor of Mikel Arteta after an Aubameyan tap-in to give the Gooners their first three points. However, there is a lot to do given the hectic schedules incoming.
The Gunners head into Turf Moor, have not conceded nine goals, and scored once in four Premier League matches. Mikel Arteta has a clean bill of health with Granit Xhaka only unavailable due to a suspension. The Clarets are yet to defeat Arsenal at home since 1973-74.
