Arsenal are looking to register their first back to back Premier League wins of the season after beating Sunderland 2-0 away last weekend. Burnley meanwhile come into this game off the back of two successive 3-1 home defeats.

Arsene Wenger will be buoyed by the current form of summer signing Alex Sanchez, who has scored three goals in his last two Premier League outings. With Burnley also boasting the league’s worst goal difference, the Chilean will be looking to extend his tally further.

Sean Dyche’s men have yet to register a win in the Premier League, but will look back to performances like those against Manchester United for inspiration to try and shut out the Gunners.

The Clarets will also be hoping that Danny Ings will now be up and running after getting his first of the season last weekend, the frontman notched 21 Championship goals last season.
