Arsenal will be feeling the pressure this weekend when they host Burnley in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Mikel Arteta's Gunners have made the worst start to a Premier League season by an Arsenal team. They are currently 15th in the table with 13 points from 11 games. The Burnley players that they face are a further seven points behind in 18th place. Many will mock that this is a relegation six-pointer, but Arteta may as well look at it that way. A failure to win points in this game will force the board to consider parting ways with him. Arsenal have averaged less than one goal per game and lost more than half (six) of their fixtures. The Europa League provided respite on Thursday - Arsenal getting a 4-2 win away to Dundalk - but it won't keep the wolves from the door if things don't improve in the Premier League. Star forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang needs to recover his form after only two goals in this opening third of the campaign, one of which was from the penalty spot. Arsenal lost their last three Premier League home games.

Burnley, unbeaten in three of their last four league games, look as though they could add to the woes of Arsenal. All three of those games that produced points featured fewer than three goals. Low-scoring duels suit Burnley, and they are facing a club struggling for goals this weekend. We suggest backing fewer than three goals in this game.
