On Saturday, Arsenal will travel to Lancashire to face Burnley to extend their flawless Premier League record in 2024, just six days after a record-breaking six-goal triumph.
The Red Devils lost 3-1 on the road to league leaders Liverpool in gameweek 24, as Mikel Arteta’s side thrashed London rivals West Ham United 6-0.
Burnley is having a tough time, as the club is sitting in nineteenth place in the Premier League with thirteen points. They need a big game after losing to Liverpool to keep their season alive and escape relegation. Since allowing 15 goals in their previous seven games, Brentford must shore up their defence.
Gunners fans should expect a high-spirited affair after their 6-0 victory against West Ham. Their goal against West Ham should be to reduce the two-point difference to one and secure the top position. It gives Mikel Arteta joy to see his offence come together at the perfect moment in the season. He intends to keep his deadly touch even against a lower-ranked team like Burnley.

Burnley and Arsenal: Previous Games
The Gunners were on the brink of disaster just before the winter break, but they’ve had a remarkable comeback in the last month, winning their previous four games while scoring 16 goals. After making a bold statement with a 3-1 triumph against Liverpool, they cruised to a 6-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday.
The recent rise by Arsenal indicates that they will be involved in what promises to be an entertaining three-way championship chase this season.
Burnley, who play on Saturday, hastily returned to the Premier League and has had a rather miserable season. This season, the once-swaggering side has transformed into something considerably more subdued. After 24 games, the Clarets have managed only 13 points, putting them in nineteenth place in the league.
Probable Burnley Lineup
Trafford, Delcroi, O’Shea, Esteve, Assignon; Brownhill, Berge, Ramsey; Amdouni, Fofana and Odobert
Probable Arsenal Lineup
Raya, Gabriel, White, Kiwior, Saliba; Ødegaard, Rice, Havertz; Trossard, Saka and Martinelli

Check out our predictions of the day for Burnley vs. Arsenal
Prediction 1: Burnley x Arsenal / Arsenal to win
While Burnley may not be able to coast at Turf Moor as they did early in the season, the Clarets crowd should be prepared for a punishing afternoon’s play against a defensively solid Arsenal team that has also rediscovered its offensive prowess.
Although Arsenal fans hoping for another six-goal victory would be let down, a relentless, free-flowing, and aerially dominating Gunners contingent should cement their place in Lancashire history despite their upcoming Champions League trip to Portugal.
Prediction 2: Burnley x Arsenal / Over 2.5 goals
Three of Arsenal’s previous four league games have had three-goal or more scoring. In their past six matches in all competitions, Burnley scored in all but one. With ten goals in the league this season, Bukayo Saka is the Gunners’ leading scorer. Among Arsenal’s players, Saka has the most first-goal scorers, with three in six league games this season.
Prediction 3: Burnley x Arsenal / Saka to score first
The right winger from England has played in 23 games for Arsenal and has scored ten goals while assisting on seven more. With the championship fight heating up, he’ll be eager to achieve goals and win games while giving his all to the squad. The two goals he scored against West Ham will have lifted his spirits, and he will be eager to score again.
