Both Arsenal and Burnley will look to build on positive starts to the season when they meet at the Emirates on Saturday.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored the only goal as Arsenal edged past Newcastle United last weekend.
The Gunners have enjoyed a good summer transfer window, adding the likes of Dani Ceballos, Nicolas Pepe and David Luiz.
It was no surprise to see Burnley sign players that fit the Sean Dyche system, with the highlight of the window, Jay Rodriguez’ return to Turf Moor.
Ashley Barnes scored twice as Burnley thrashed Southampton 3-0 on the opening day of the season.
