ℹ️ Team News: Arsenal

The Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be happy not to have any fitness concerns at all coming into this game with a completely healthy squad available for selection.

It looks as if The Gunners will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring David Raya, Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Bukayo Saka, Martin Oedegaard, Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyoekeres.

📋 Team News: Burnley

With a completely healthy squad available to choose from, the Burnley manager Mike Jackson has no fitness concerns to report coming into this clash.

It’s our belief that The Clarets appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, starting the game with Max Weiss, Kyle Walker, Axel Tuanzebe, Maxime Esteve, Lucas Pires, Hannibal Mejbri, Florentino, Lesley Ugochukwu, Loum Tchaouna, Zian Flemming and Jaidon Anthony.

🔮 Prediction

We believe that Arsenal will, in all likelihood, get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

In contrast, Burnley might well find it a difficult task to score a goal of their own although we do think it’s probable that they will be being dangerous for periods.

We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Arsenal at the end of the 90 minutes.
