Burnley vs Arsenal: Mikel Arteta’s Gunners eye five straight wins as they travel to Premier League strugglers

10 months ago 60

ARSENAL travel to Premier League strugglers Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners have been in fantastic form of late, scoring 16 goals in their last four games.

Last time out, Arsenal thrashed London rivals West Ham 6-0 on their own patch as Mikel Arteta‘s side put themselves firmly in the title race.

The Gunners are aiming to go one better than last campaign and claim their first Premier League title since the 2003/04 season.

Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany‘s Burnley haven’t lived up to expectations on their return to the top flight and are in a dogfight to stay in the league.

The Clarets are seven points from safety and are without a win since before Christmas.
