Burnley on the verge of three-game winning run as Arsenal visits.

Burnley vs. Arsenal kicks off at 15:00 [GMT+1] on Saturday, November 1, at Turf Moor.

Burnley have managed just one win in 18 Premier League meetings with Arsenal (D4 L13), a narrow 1-0 victory at the Emirates in December 2020. Since then, the Gunners have remained unbeaten against the Clarets and have not lost an away league fixture at Turf Moor since December 1973, when Bertie Mee was in charge. Arsenal’s unbeaten streak at Burnley now spans 11 visits (W6 D5). Adding to Burnley’s uphill battle, they have never scored more than once in a Premier League match against the North London side — managing only nine goals in total across those 18 encounters. Meanwhile, the Clarets have quietly begun to find rhythm under Scott Parker, stringing together two consecutive league wins [DLLWW]. They haven’t won three in a row in the top flight since April 2022 under caretaker boss Michael Jackson. For Parker, the last time he managed three successive Premier League wins dates back to his Fulham tenure in 2019. However, his side faces a daunting task: Burnley have never beaten a team starting the day top of the Premier League in 12 attempts (D5 L7). Their last such win came half a century ago — a 1-0 triumph over QPR in October 1975, courtesy of a Frank Casper goal. The Clarets will be looking to end that 12-game jinx when they appear with Zian Flemming at the end of a 4—2—3—1 formation.

Table-topping Arsenal will enter this match in formidable form, having won their last four Premier League games [DWWWW], all without conceding. The last time they achieved four consecutive clean-sheet victories was over a decade ago, in April and May 2014, when Arteta himself featured as a player. The Gunners have also been ruthless against promoted teams, winning 23 of their last 24 Premier League matches in such fixtures—a streak that includes 13 straight victories. The only blemish came in May 2023, when they fell 1-0 at Nottingham Forest. Tactically, Arsenal have relied heavily on set pieces this season, scoring 11 times from dead-ball situations — more than any other Premier League side. Those goals account for a remarkable 69% of their total (11 of 16), meaning only five have come from open play. They will be keen to seize such an opportunity on a golden plate should newly promoted Burnley be generous enough. Viktor Gyökeres is poised to lead Arsenal’s attacking efforts once again when Mikel Arteta deploys the 4—2—3—1 formation.
