Follow live coverage as Burnley face Arsenal today in the Premier League.
Arsenal are looking to keep hold of their four-point lead at the top of the table this weekend, and Mikel Arteta names a strong side to start the game at Turf Moor with William Saliba fully recovered and in the first XI alongside Gabriel at the heart of the Gunners’ bulletproof defence.
Burnley have started the season well and will back themselves to cause Arsenal some problems at home. Scott Parker was able to name Lesley Ugochukwu in his starting line-up after the French midfielder shook off a knock.
Burnley: Dubravka, Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman, Cullen, Florentino, Ugochukwu, Laurent, Anthony, Flemming. Subs: Weiss, Bruun Larsen, Edwards, Tchaouna, Ekdal, Lucas Pires, Broja, Mejbri, Barnes.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Eze, Zubimendi, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard. Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, White, Hincapie, Norgaard, Nwaneri, Merino, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman.

Burnley have recorded back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since April 2022, defeating fellow promoted side Leeds before a dramatic last-minute winner at Wolves moved them five points clear of the relegation zone. The Clarets have been particularly strong at Turf Moor, collecting seven of their 10 points on home soil and losing just once there all season – a narrow 1-0 defeat to Liverpool courtesy of Mohamed Salah’s late penalty. However, their record against today’s opponents is far less encouraging, with Burnley winning only one of their 18 Premier League meetings with Arsenal.
