For the Gunners, the question surely becomes when Arteta will look to get his star players off the Turf Moor pitch ahead of Wednesday's Champions League first leg. They surely have this game won, but will Arteta look to score one more before he starts freshening up his team?

That might be that for Burnley in terms of getting back into this game. This could end up being damage limitation in this second half, with only bottom club Sheffield United having a worse goal difference than the Clarets.

Things are looking fairly bleak for the Clarets, who had just 32.1 per cent of the possession in that first half, while they only managed two shots and none on target. While Arsenal have been impressive in stages, it feels like they haven't really had to get out of first gear to this point.

The half-time whistle blows with Arsenal cruising at Turf Moor, currently 2-0 up against Burnley thanks to goals from Odegaard and Saka. They were ahead after just four minutes, Martinelli pulling the ball back to the edge of the box for Odegaard, who took a touch before rifling a superb finish into the bottom corner. The Gunners then made it 2-0 with four minutes to go until the interval, Assignon bringing down Trossard for a penalty before Saka's penalty squeezed into the bottom corner past a despairing Trafford to leave Arsenal in command at the break.
