Arsenal XI vs Burnley: Saliba IN - starting lineup and confirmed team news for Premier League today
William Saliba has passed a late fitness test for Arsenal’s trip to Burnley in the Premier League this afternoon. The defender injured his ankle in last week’s win over Crystal Palace, when he was forced off at half-time.
Goals from summer signing Viktor Gyokeres and midfield maestro Declan Rice saw Arsenal win their fifth game in a row, including their fourth without conceding, as Burnley were put to the sword.
Up front, Viktor Gyokeres continues his adaptation, tasked with occupying Burnley’s defence and finishing ruthlessly. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard flank him, both capable of deciding matches with a moment of clarity or courage.
Arteta’s side would eventually double their lead in the 35th minute through Rice. At the end of a sweeping move which began with Kyle Walker launching a long throw into Arsenal’s box, the visiting midfielder crashed into Burnley’s penalty area to head a deft cross from Trossard into the bottom corner.
Arsenal successfully opened up an seven-point lead at the Premier League summit as beat Burnley away from home on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners’ superb continued at Turf Moor as they followed up the midweek victory over brighton in the Carabao Cup to notch their ninth successive victory across all competitions in the process.
Burnley boss Scott Parkeris full of praise for the "brilliant" display his side put in during the second half of their 2-0 defeat against Premier League leaders Arsenal at Turf Moor.
The first half was an impressive show of dominance from the league leaders, preventing their hosts from having a shot of any kind in the opening 45 minutes. Arsenal took the lead on 14 minutes, Viktor Gyokeres heading home from a matter of inches after Gabriel had headed a Declan Rice corner back across the Burnley goal.
