Superb lineup, so glad Mikel is rewarding good performances.

[AberGooner]

Unless Chambers plays really well today you have to think Cedric starts in Europa.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Willian starting ahead of nico. Not undeserved but dissapointed pepe dropped

Awful team in fact, moods completely ruined.

Opta stats​

• Burnley are looking to complete their first league double over Arsenal since the 1962-63 campaign, following their 1-0 win at the Emirates earlier this season.
• Arsenal are unbeaten in their last eight away league games against Burnley (W4 D4), keeping a clean sheet in four of their last five. Their last league defeat at Turf Moor was in December 1973.
• Arsenal have conceded just seven goals in their 13 Premier League meetings with Burnley, and never more than once in a match. It's the most they've faced a side in the competition without conceding more than one goal in any of their meetings.
• Burnley have won just one of their nine Saturday Premier League matches this season (D3 L5), winning 3-0 at Crystal Palace last month. Their only 12.30 Saturday kick-off this season ended in a 1-1 draw at home to Everton.
• Arsenal have won four of their last six Premier League away games (L2), as many as they had in their previous 18 on the road (D6 L8).
• Following 3-2 and 3-1 victories against Benfica and Leicester respectively, Arsenal are looking to score 3+ goals in three consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since September 2019 under Unai Emery.
• Ashley Barnes has scored 43% of Burnley's Premier League goals against Arsenal (3/7) - he's the only current member of their squad to score a league goal for the Clarets against Arsenal.
• Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored more Premier League goals against Burnley than he has any other side in the competition (7). However, the Gunners captain scored the winning goal at the wrong end in the reverse fixture this season.
• Arsenal's Nicolas Pépé has scored in four of his last five away games in the Premier League, having netted in just two of his first 18 on the road in the competition.
• Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette has scored seven away goals in the Premier League this season, more than he had in 2018-19 and 2019-20 combined (6). Seven of the Gunners' 11 Premier League victories this season have been in games in which Lacazette has scored.

Pepe has played a lot recently, and is needed against Olympiacos.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Joga Bonito time!

 

[<<reed>>]

He's actually resting Cedric for our huge Europa games, what a player.

Raul has done it again hasn't he?

 

[OnlyOne]

fine, wbu?

Yeah, was in a really good mood but Mikel has dropped Pepe.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Still this front 6 plus Tierney should absolutely destroy Burnley no mistake or silly decision

 

[boonthegoon]

The whining here is gonna be unbearable would have been the same if pepe played this n was rested for olympiacos

 

[AberGooner]

That's actually pretty close to what we'll line up with on Thursday I think.

 

[Tourbillion]

I hope we win.

Raul has done it again hasn't he?

Our best RB since Sagna and people kill Raul for him.

 

[mpower2540]

Think Chambers is probably a height thing to defend crosses to the back post maybe?

 

[DanDare]

Willian boooooo

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hopefully Willian LW and Saka RW Willian looks good as LW against Leicester and have fullback who take risks will help.
