LIVE: Burnley vs Arsenal
Arsenal are looking to open up an seven-point lead at the Premier League summit as they face Burnley away from home this afternoon. The Gunners are in superb form right now having beaten Brighton in the midweek Carabao Cup tie to notch their eighth successive victory across all competitions in the process.
Mikel Arteta's side have won 12 of their 14 matches so far this season, and are on a run of six games without conceding. Changes are expected from Wednesday night with the likes of Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel and Jurrien Timber set to return to the starting XI. However, William Saliba remains a doubt and Gabriel Martinelli has been ruled out alongside Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz.
The Clarets have enjoyed a fairly decent start to the league season as they currently sit five points clear of the relegation zone and have lost just once at home in the competition so far.

Arsenal team news: Saliba doubtful
William Saliba is a doubt after he missed the win over Brighton with a knock sustained in the 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace last Sunday. Summer signing Cristhian Mosquera is on standby to deputise for the centre-back once again.
Gabriel Martinelli will miss out which means Max Dowman - who made history in the Carabao Cup tie - is an option to cover for the Brazilian in the matchday squad.
Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Jesus are Arsenal’s longer-term injury casualties and will play no part at Turf Moor.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised live as it lands during the 3pm Saturday blackout.
