Open Extended Reactions

Premier League leaders Arsenal capped off October with six wins from six, while scoring 12 unanswered goals. They will hope to begin November in a similar vein when they make the trip north to Burnley, who host them on Saturday afternoon at Turf Moor.

Mikel Arteta's side followed their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend by getting past Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 win. Arsenal's starting lineup featured 10 changes including Max Dowman, 15, who made history as the youngest starter in club history.

Burnley, meanwhile, come into this game with a full week's rest, as Scott Parker's side basked in two consecutive Premier League victories over Leeds and Wolves.

Arsenal were without Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba for the midweek game, and the pair remain doubts for this game. Burnley, meanwhile, have a trio of long-term injuries, but Scott Parker played the same starting XI in the club's last two wins and is unlikely to make any changes.
