Arsenal are back to Premier League action after their midweek Europa League win away to Dundalk. In the 12th round they host Burnley at the Emirates, with the two sides separated by seven points and just three places apart. Arsenal are 15th with 13 points and Burnley 18th with six points. Heading to this game Arsenal have four wins in their last eight matches; all of them having come in the Europa League. The team has struggled to transform the continental form to their league assignments. In effect, they have won more Europa League games and scored more there than in the Premier League. The last four Premier League matches have not produced a win for Arsenal; three ending in defeats and one a draw, with one clean sheet only realized in the four games. They have conceded seven goals in the last four Premier League matches and scored just one, while in the last seven league matches, they have scored just once in open play. Arsenal head to this game on three straight losses at home and this will be the first time they play at home with fans coming back to the stadium. The pressure will be there, definitely, and Arsenal, who have had problems dealing with deep lying defences have a job to do. Four of their five home matches in the season have seen over 2.5 goals scored and they have no clean sheet therein. In terms of history, Arsenal have a great run against Burnley and will be praying that it plays on here, with the Gunners having gone 14 matches unbeaten against Burnley ahead of this game.

Burnley’s only win in their 10 Premier League games came against Crystal Palace and they will be looking to pile the pressure on the Gunners. The visitors also have pressure of their own though and while they pile on Arsenal’s they have to deal with their weaknesses. The main weakness at Burnley is that they have scored just five goals in the 10 matches they have played. The team has failed to score in three of their last five matches, but have two clean sheets in the five matches. They haven’t scored more than one goal in the last 10 matches and have conceded nine goals in the last five matches. In the last 10 matches too, they have managed just three clean sheets, and conceded two or more goals in four of their last 10. On the road in the league, Burnley have failed to win any this season and have no goal in the last three. They have scored three goals in their last five away matches in the league and conceded 12 while each of their last eight visits to Arsenal has ended in defeat.
