Arsenal travel to Burnley in the Premier League this afternoon as the Gunners look to build on their first win of the season last weekend.

After losing their opening three games before the international break, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s late winner earned Mikel Arteta’s side a 1-0 over Norwich to alleviate some of the early pressure on the Arsenal manager.

Burnley are already desperate for points under Sean Dyche as they gave up a one-goal lead after half time in their 3-1 defeat to Everton on Monday night. The Turf Moor side are one of four teams in the division still looking for their first win of the season, even though they have led in three of their first four fixtures.

Arsenal have dropped points on their previous two visits to Turf Moor, with the sides playing out a 1-1 draw in this fixture last season.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League fixture today.

The match will kick off at 3pm on Saturday 18 September.

Prediction

The Gunners have failed to win on their last two trips to Turf Moor and today’s meeting will be another test of their character following their chastening away defeats to Brentford and Manchester City earlier in the season. However, Mikel Arteta’s side played some nice football against Norwich and if they replicate that again here then they should pick up a second consecutive win in the Premier League. Burnley 0-1 Arsenal
