Burnley vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Gunners run rampant

Burnley have started brightly, flying into tackles and looking to get after the high-flying Gunners. The home fans are encouraged, but Arsenal will not be too rustled.

The hosts kick us off and we are under way in Burnley!

The two teams make their way onto the Turf Moor pitch ahead of this vital game at both ends of the Premier League. Who will come out on top? We will find out shortly!

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mikel Arteta also names the exact same side that started the 6-0 thumping of West Ham at the London Stadium last Sunday, with Saka starting on the right having scored a double in that match. Arteta's decision to go close to his strongest team is notable with a big Champions League knockout-round first leg coming up away at Porto on Wednesday, and surely he will look to get his key players off if the Gunners can put Burnley away as soon as possible.

Vincent Kompany names an unchanged starting XI from the side that lost 3-1 at Anfield against Liverpool last weekend, with Fofana leading the line with Amdouni having netted a brace in Burnley's 2-2 draw with Fulham earlier this month. Taylor returns to the bench having missed time with a shoulder injury.

SUBS: Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, Aaron Ramsdale, Cedric Soares, Jorginho, James Sweet, Mauro Bandeira, Mohamed Elneny.

ARSENAL (4-3-3): David Raya; Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior; Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz; Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli.

SUBS: Jacob Bruun Larsen, Jack Cork, Arijanet Muric, Charlie Taylor, Johann Gudmundsson, Vitinho, Jay Rodriguez, Manuel Benson, Josh Cullen.

BURNLEY (4-4-2): James Trafford; Lorenz Assignon, Dara O'Shea, Maxime Esteve, Hannes Delcroix; Aaron Ramsey, Sander Berge, Josh Brownhill, Wilson Odobert; Datro Fofana, Mohamed Zeki Amdouni.

At the other end of the table, Arsenal head into the weekend just two points off leaders Liverpool, who they beat at the Emirates Stadium earlier this month. That result, combined with a 6-0 humiliation of London rivals West Ham last time out, means the Gunners are fancying their chances of going one better than they did last season, missing out on the title to Manchester City after leading for the majority of the campaign. A win here will be crucial, though, to ensure they at least keep pace with Liverpool and City.
