Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Burnley are at 13/5, a draw is at 13/5, and Arsenal are at evens.
Burnley come into the 25th week of the season in 13th place on 30 points so far. Just a couple of weeks ago, they were in a major trouble, but two wins in a row, with one over Manchester United, now has them seven points above the drop zone and inching closer to safety. Every time they look down and out, Dyche and co. find a way to recover, and the fact that a win here would take them over Arsenal would be extraordinary should it occur.
Arsenal are also on 30 points so far, yet they sit in tenth in the table having endured a downright tumultuous season. There is a bit of bright news for them as they have not lost any of their last four, however, they have three draws consecutively ahead of this one in the PL, meaning they have some work to do. The fact that Burnley have three more wins this term than them is also troubling and underlines the level of problems at the Emirates club currently.
The Clarets’ home form this term has been decent, though it’s also been hit or miss. They have six wins and six losses from 12, giving them 18 points. In their last four, they have two wins and two losses, so really anything can happen here. Except a draw, if the pattern is to continue. As for the Gunners, they have been fairly poor on the road to date. They have 13 points from 12 outings, with just two wins coming along with seven draws. In their last five, they have not lost, though, and have four draws and a win, so that is a positive spot for them.
Both teams scoring is at Ladbrokes for 7/10.
Betfair have Aubameyang scoring anytime at 1.91.
After successive wins over Leicester and Manchester United, Burnley might be slight favorites to some. However, Arsenal have been improving steadily and you hardly see the Clarets sustain a run like this for very long.
Sean Dyche will be missing striker Ashley Barnes due to his groin injury. Meanwhile, three men are doubts but possibilities to feature, with Phil Bardsley, Ben Gibson, and Johann Gudmundsson up in the air.
There was a time when Jay Rodriguez was one of the biggest up and coming strikers in England. That time has come and gone, but he was back at among his best at Old Trafford when he scored a stunning goal, his fourth of the season, to clinch the win over United last time out. Alongside him, Chris Wood was his usual difficult to deal with self. He scored the opener and then assisted Rodriguez for the clincher, showing just how vital the Kiwi is to the cause. That’s ten goals for him now.
Burnley have two losses and three wins in their last five matches:
1-2 home loss vs Norwich (FA Cup)
0-2 win at Manchester United
2-1 home win vs Leicester
3-0 loss at Chelsea
4-2 home win vs Peterborough (FA Cup)
Mikel Arteta will be without Shkodran Mustafi, Reiss Nelson, Sead Kolasinac, Kieran Tierney, and Calum Chambers due to injuries. Both David Luiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are back from suspension, so that will be good news. Pablo Mari has just been signed, so it will be interesting to see when he gets a chance to feature.
Arteta has some tough calls to make up front with his selection, but he surely can’t leave out Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian is very young, but he is in great form, having scored a fantastic goal against Chelsea last time out in the PL and assisting one in the win at Bournemouth in the FA Cup. Up front, they will also be thankful for the return of Aubameyang. He has 14 goals this term, and though they did ‘OK’ without him, they will be glad to see him back and ready to poach some more goals.
Arsenal have two wins and three draws in their last five matches:
1-2 win at Bournemouth (FA Cup)
2-2 draw at Chelsea
1-1 home draw vs Sheffield United
1-1 draw at Crystal Palace
1-0 home win vs Leeds (FA Cup)
