Arsenal will look to build on their first win of the Premier League season when they visit Burnley this afternoon.

Mikel Arteta’s side secured a much-needed first three points of the season as they defeated Norwich 1-0 at the Emirates last weekend.

There were further positives as Gabriel Magalhaes and Thomas Partey returned from injuries to make their first appearances of the campaign, while Aaron Ramsdale and Takehiro Tomiyasu made their Premier League debuts for the club following their arrivals in the transfer window.

Burnley are still looking for their first win of the season under Sean Dyche after they conceded three quickfire goals in the second half to lose to Everton on Monday night.

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

Odds

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
