Arsenal will be hoping to secure their fifth consecutive victory at Burnley and will look towards recording a piece of club history in the process.

The Gunners have never won their first five league matches in a calendar year; but after netting 16 goals in their last four matches, Arsenal could achieve this at Turf Moor.

Burnley have failed to secure a win in their last 7 matches meaning the only goal difference is keeping them off last-placed Sheffield United.

To add to Vincent Kompany’s discomfort, Kompany will be unable to manage from the touchline after picking up a third yellow card of the campaign in their 3-1 defeat at Anfield last Saturday.

After taking the Championship by storm last season recording only three losses to their name last campaign, the Clarets already have 17 losses under their belt this season. 

Team news 

Emile Smith Rowe is sidelined for the West Ham United match due to an ankle injury, with uncertainty about his recovery.

Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Gabriel Jesus (knee), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knock) face late fitness assessments. Jurrien Timber is still out, but Thomas Partey is progressing well. Fabio Vieira is close to returning after training with the team. 

Lyle Foster is doubtful for Burnley due to a muscle injury, while Charlie Taylor and Jordan Beyer are recovering from shoulder and hamstring problems. Luca Koleosho is sidelined with a long-term knee injury, and Nathan Redmond is out after hamstring surgery.”
