Arsenal vs. Burnley: End the week on a positive note

After back-to-back defeats, Arsenal will play their third game in six days and attempt to get back to winning ways against Burnley at the Emirates. While Burnley has typically been a challenging opponent for the Gunners, Sean Dyche’s side currently sit in 18th place, with just 12 points on the season and a -18 goal differential. Burnley suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Tottenham last week, when Christian Eriksen scored the winning goal in extra time.

Will we see a response from Arsenal to the first real sticking point since August?

Lineups:

Somewhat surprisingly after all the speculation the last few days, Mesut Ozil returns to the starting lineup and captains the side today. Unai Emery returns to a back four, but still opts for a seemingly conservative approach in the midfield. Granit Xhaka shifts back to his normal position, while Lucas Torreira gets a break.

Here’s Burnley’s lineup:
