Our under-21s will be aiming to secure their first win of 2026 when we host Burnley in Premier League 2 on Friday, January 23.
The match will take place at Meadow Park, with kick-off scheduled for 7pm (UK). You will be able to stream the game on Arsenal.com and the official app from 6.55pm (UK).
We’ll be looking to respond positively after suffering a heavy defeat against Liverpool in our most recent league outing.
The opposition
Burnley arrive in north London in mixed form. They began the new year with a heavy loss to Manchester City, but bounced back to earn a point against Tottenham in their last league fixture.
It has been a challenging campaign for the Clarets, who have recorded two wins, one draw and eight defeats from their 11 league matches so far, leaving them 26th in the Premier League 2 table.
However, their form in the Premier League Cup tells a different story. Burnley currently sit top of Group F, having won four of their five matches, and are on the brink of securing a place in the knockout stages.
Kian McMahon-Brown is Burnley’s leading scorer this season, with three goals in eight league appearances.
