Preview:Burnley vs Arsenal – prediction, team news, lineups

Team form and standings

• Arsenal has won their last eight matches in all competitions.
• Burnley has won their last two Premier League matches

Arsenal sustained no fresh concerns in their midweek win over Brighton, but their success over Palace last weekend came at a cost, as Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori, William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli picked up unspecified issues.

Rice and Calafiori shook off their concerns relatively quickly, but Saliba and Martinelli remain major doubts for Saturday’s fixture – the latter is feared to have suffered a muscular problem, so a start for Leandro Trossard is virtually guaranteed.

Knee quartet Gabriel Jesus, Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz are not expected to return this side of the international break, but the latter three could be back in time for the North London derby next month.

On Burnley’s end, Lesley Ugochukwu was a late enforced change in the five-goal thriller with Wolves, but there are no serious concerns about the midfielder’s availability for Saturday.

However, Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Zeki Amdouni (knee) and Connor Roberts (knee) remain in the treatment room, and none of the trio is expected back before the end of the calendar year.

Provider of two assists at Molineux, left-back Quilindschy Hartman has now set up four goals in the Premier League so far this season, although all of his contributions have come on the road.

Burnley possible starting lineup:

Dubravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman; Florentino, Cullen; Bruun Larsen, Ugochukwu, Anthony; Flemming

Arsenal possible starting lineup:

Raya; Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
