match preview
Arsenal v Burnley
theguardian
It does not get any easier for Burnley as they chase their first victory of the season, even if Arsenal are, by Arsène Wengers admission, struggling to find their rhythm this season. Burnley have scored only five goals in nine league games and they are likely to adopt a familiar defensive approach, in order to retain a punchers chance. The onus is all on Arsenal to find the way through Burnley. They are desperate to find consistency. David Hytner
