Arsenal will be looking to keep moving forward from their frustrating start to the season, where as newly promoted Burnley will be looking to do what they can to claw their way out of last position on the table. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 2:00am (AEDT).
Despite only losing one of their last nine games this season, five draws see them on the edge of the top four in fifth place.
Key signing Alexis Sanchez scored both goals for the Gunners in their two nil win over Sunderland away from home at the Stadium of Light, and should be able to grab another win against a struggling Burnley when they play them home at The Emirates.
Burnley have only managed to gather four points in nine games, and in their last Premier League fixture went down 3-1 to Everton. Burnley have found themselves firmly sat at the bottom of the table, with Danny Ings being the only forward to score for them all season.
Burnley have most definitely found themselves in a rut, and face a uphill battle against Arsenal who have so much momentum behind them. There is only so much blame to place on Burnley manager Sean Dyche, but it might be time to rethink his attacking strategies.
The last time these two played was all the way back in 2010, when the Gunners struck two in the second half in a hard earned 3-1 victory. Two players that no longer wear Arsenal jerseys, Francesc Fábregas and Andrey Arshavin, both netted, as Leicester City striker David Nugent netted for Burnley.
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott is rumoured to make an appearance on the pitch after suffering a serious knee injury a few months back. The Gunners will also be without key men Mesut Özil and Oliver Giroud who are both out on injury as well.
Burnley are coming into this fixture as massive underdogs, and rightly so. With Arsenal having the home ground advantage and so much to play for, it would hard to pick against a dominant victory for the Gunners.
My prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Burnley
Can Arsenal overcome this plague of injuries and go back to their winning ways, or will Burnley pull off an upset in their quest to stay in the Premier League?

FULL TIME: ARSENAL 3 - 0 BURNLEY FC Arsenal scored all three in the second half and it could easily have been more if not for some top shelf goal keeping from Heaton. Alexis Sanchez the stand out who also scored two of three, with Chambers scoring the other. Arsenal dominated the entire match up ending up with 69% of the possession and 31 shots towards goal. Arsenal still chasing Chelsea and get three points closer to the dominant leaders. Burnley remain the only win-less team in England. Thank you for joining the Roar on this live blog and I look forward to seeing you again.
