Burnley vs Arsenal - Premier League Preview and Odds

February 02, 2020 14:00pm - Turf Moor (Burnley)

Premier League

Burnley kick-off level on points with visitors Arsenal but with inferior goal difference. A win for either side would lift them into the top 10, well clear of the danger zone.

The Clarets were starting to look in danger before back-to-back wins at home to Leicester City and away to Manchester United bough them some valuable breathing space. They now look on course to avoid relegation and are only four points adrift of fifth place.

Sean Dyche`s men have yet to draw on home soil and they face a team who have drawn nine of their last 15 matches in the league and 12 overall.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are still adjusting to life under Mikel Arteta but with a win and three draws are unbeaten in their last four in the league. Last time out they held Chelsea 2-2 at Stamford Bridge to earn their fourth-straight stalemate on the road. They are now unbeaten in their last six away games but have only won once.

The Gunners have won their last 11 matches against Burnley in all competitions. They last dropped points in a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor back in 2009. Leading goal scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has only netted once in the league in 2020. However, nine of his 14 goals have come on the road.

Predicted line-ups:

Burnley: Pope Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil Rodriguez, Wood

Arsenal: Leno Bellerin, Luiz, Sokratis, Saka Torreira, Xhaka Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli, Aubameyang

Recent Form (League)

Burnley: WWLLL

Arsenal: DDDWL

Betting odds and tips

Burnley have recent form on their side but Arsenal have scored more and conceded less. With little to separate the teams, the draw looks like decent value.

You can back the Draw at 13/5 and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can be backed to score anytime at a best price of 5/4.
