WATCH BURNLEY v ARSENAL LIVE

Vincent Kompany’s Burnley are seven points from safety with 14 games to go and although they played well at Liverpool last weekend they lost 3-1. A promising display without points to show for it sums up their season as Burnley have been fun to watch but haven’t taken big chances during games and are making silly defensive errors.

Arsenal are at the complete opposite end of the spectrum as the Gunners smashed West Ham 6-0 last weekend with Bukayo Saka dazzling, Declan Rice dominating and Martin Odegaard seems to be at the peak of his powers. Mikel Arteta is delighted with his side as they’ve won four Premier League games in a row to start 2024 and are just two points off Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Burnley vs Arsenal live updates! – By Joe Prince-Wright

Burnley vs Arsenal score: 0-1

Odegaard 4′

Sustained pressure from Arsenal

Corners are being whipped in and Arsenal are really putting Burnley under pressure. The Clarets are trying to get on the ball and Odobert smashes a shot on goal which Raya pushes away. At the other end Saka crosses for Havertz but Burnley clear for a corner, then another cross comes in but Trossard totally misses the ball. A glorious chance for Arsenal to make it 2-0.

Trafford denies Trossard but the offside flag went up

A ball over the top finds Trossard and he is clean through on goal but Trafford grabs the ball just as the Belgian forward tries to skip around him. The offside flag went up after but if Trossard scored that it would have been very tight.

Odegaard smashes home early – Burnley 0-1 Arsenal (4th minute)

What a start for Arsenal. They attack down the left and a brilliant cross from Martinelli finds Odegaard on the edge of the box and he smashes home a low shot. Pure class.

Burnley focus, team news

The Clarets are scrapping away but time is running out. January loan signing David Datro-Fofana has been excellent since he arrived and has provided a focal point for Burnley to sustain attacks. Will it be enough to keep them up? They aren’t expected to get anything at home against Arsenal but Burnley have key games against Palace, Bournemouth, Brentford and West Ham coming up after this. Three wins from those four and they’re back in with a chance of staying up.

OUT: Nathan Redmond (hamstring), Luca Koleosho (knee), Jordan Beyer (thigh), Lyle Foster (undisclosed) | QUESTIONABLE: Charlie Taylor (shoulder)

Arsenal focus, team news

The only thing that isn’t positive for Arteta right now is plenty of players out injured. The good news is that the likes of Jesus, Tomiyasu, Zinchenko and Smith Rowe could be back for this game and with the Champions League knockout rounds kicking off for Arsenal next week they need their squad depth to challenge on two fronts. In attack Trossard has been a revelation in multiple roles, while Havertz is also having a big impact. The stars are Saka, Odegaard and Rice, while Arsenal are so dangerous from set-pieces and will look to target young goalkeeper James Trafford.

OUT: Jurrien Timber (torn ACL) | QUESTIONABLE: Gabriel Jesus (knee), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Takehiro Tomiyasu (undisclosed), Thomas Partey (thigh), Emile Smith Rowe (ankle), Fabio Vieira (groin)
