Mikel Arteta will be aiming to extend Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League when the Gunners face Burnley on Saturday.
The Gunners took full advantage of Manchester City's stumble and Liverpool's defeat last weekend, securing a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. Former Eagles star Eberechi Eze scored his first league goal for Arsenal, reinforcing their reputation as set-piece kings.
Having finished runners-up for the past three seasons, Arsenal's unyielding pace at the top of the table and their robust defence indicate that they will take some stopping this season.
Their winning streak continued as they stormed into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a decisive 2-0 win over Brighton on Wednesday.
However, Burnley, under the guidance of Scott Parker, are entering the match on a high after consecutive victories over Leeds and Wolves, which has left them five points clear of the relegation zone.

How can you watch Burnley vs Arsenal?
Neither Sky Sports nor TNT Sports will air the match due to the 3pm blackout, meaning it won't be broadcast live on television, reports the Mirror.
While UK fans won't have the opportunity to watch the match live, international supporters won't be affected. For example, American fans can watch the game on Peacock, with Peacock Premium streaming the match for paid subscribers.
UK supporters will have to hold on until the final whistle, but post-match highlights will be available on Sky Sports through their app and social media platforms, including YouTube.
Alternatively, Match of the Day is another option, with the BBC stalwart kicking off at 10.30pm on BBC One on Saturday. Highlights of the match can be viewed on the BBC Sport website and iPlayer from 8pm.
