Team News

Burnley
Arsenal
  • Chris Wood was not even fit enough for the bench last weekend but will be pushing for a start at home to Arsenal on Sunday. However, he faces competition with Ashley Barnes and Sam Vokes.
  • Tom Heaton, Dean Marney and Jonathan Walters remained sidelined for the hosts.
  • Arsene Wenger is unlikely to make any changes from the side that beat Tottenham last weekend.
  • Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere will have to settle for the bench after featuring in Arsenal's shock 1-0 defeat to Cologne on Thursday.

Prediction

  • Burnley are remarkably level on points with Arsenal and Liverpool after 12 matches in the Premier League this season. They have won their last three and could even enter the top four if other results go their way this weekend.
  • Arsenal turned in one of their best performances in years in the North London Derby last weekend and will hope to use that result to kick on in the Premier League. They are already 12 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
  • Unbeaten in five at hom, Burnley will provide the Gunners with a tough test on Sunday. Each of the last five meetings at Turf Moor have seen under 2.5 goals, which only emphasises what a tough game this will be.

  • Arsenal lost only one match out of 19 refereed by Lee Mason. The least club in EPL to lose when Lee Mason is in the field.

  • @Hany365- Do you have the stats for referees and the other top teams? I can't find anything comprehensive online but it must exist.

  • @SteveHyland dude it exists on WhoScored :) And few other websites... click on any team .. you will find in the firat table a tab called "Referee Stats"

  • @SteveHyland There is a tab "Referee Statistics" on every "Detailed Tournaments" page. If you need more, there are stats on the sites "Transfermarkt" and "corner-stats".

  • @BeautifulLoser thanks .. didnt realize u responded until i posted.

  • ozil didnt play mayb thts y

  • Sickening result, Arsenal are the luckiest team in the Premier League

  • @ilovefooty- You're allowed to put your hands on opposition players in your penalty area now then? Burnley played well and deserved a point but Tarkowski is an idiot for even touching Ramsey. Whenever there is contact not instigated by the 'fouled' player then it can be a free kick or penalty. The rule is the problem.

  • Why are these referees always awarding controversial penalties against Burnley in their encounters against Arsenal for crying out loud.

  • Arsenal ought to bring Giroud on and revert to a front 2. 3412 perhaps.

  • ars can be axed/burned by burnley soon

  • Is Özil sick again? How many matches has he had this season, 35% ?

  • Arsenal rested 11 players midweek and should beat burnley 2-0 or 3-1.

  • It's been truly irrelevant to mention PL leaders in these predictions for some time now. Arsenal have no means to challenge for the title, right now they're facing Burnley who is level on points with them and might actually salvage some points out of this fixture.

  • Burnley Or Draw - 1-0 or 0-0 - Under 2.5 and BTTS NO

  • Under 2.5

  • If the team that shred spurs last week starts then Arsenal will win the game in first half! Burnley are doing tremendously well but Arsenal will have too much for them!

  • @albgunn then you really dont know arsenal XD

  • no way Arsenal dropping points here. 100%. Even with handicap. 2-0

  • 1-0 Arsenal

  • Burnley 0 - 2 Arsenal (pls)
