Burnley v Arsenal Betting Tips – Premier League 26th November 2.00pm

Burnley’s great season continued last weekend as they picked up a home win over the out of sorts Swansea and now they face a much stiffer test at Turf Moor against Arsenal on the weekend. Will the Clarets be able to keep them at bay and extended their great home form? The Gunners took a hugely positive win in the North London derby over the weekend as they toppled rivals Spurs at the Emirates. Will they be able to crack another tough defence though as they face this tricky test up north?

Burnley News and Form

Can Burnley keep their great positive form ticking over when Arsenal come for a visit on the weekend? The Clarets are going along well on a three match winning streak in the league and the only loss they have suffered in their last ten league fixtures happened against champions elect Manchester City. So Burnley deserves a lot of credit and their season has been built off of defence and they are on a three match streak of clean sheets as well. Burnley to win to nil at bet365 is a long shot at 9/1 through because Arsenal carry a big attacking threat. It may be worth a flutter on the under 2.5 goals at bet365 for a price of 11/10 because they aren’t going to give up anything easy. After all, Burnley have kept five clean sheets in their last seven games. On home soil the Clarets are W3 D2 L1 and home and away, four of their six league wins this season have been by a 1-0 scoreline. A Burnley 1-0 is a big price at 16/1 to turn up in this one. Chris Wood is a 5/2 anytime goalscorer option for them with Sam Vokes at 2/1.

Arsenal News and Form

Arsenal produced a great performance last weekend to take a win over Spurs at the Emirates in the North London derby. That was an important response for them after having lost against Manchester City in the previous game. While Arsenal have been very strong at home, they have really been struggling for their returns out on the road as they have picked up just a W1 D1 L4 record away from home so far. They have had some tough away games at Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City, but they have had easier ones where they have been tripped up as well, having lost at Stoke and Watford. Arsenal have conceded at an average of two goals per game away from home this season and both teams to score at bet365 is a decent price of 4/5. Arsenal have struck the back of the net in each of their last seven league games now and top scorer for them is Alexandre Lacazette with six goals and he is the bet365 first goalscorer favourite at 12/5. He is the only Arsenal player to have scored more than one away goal this season. The Gunners have actually have only scored the opening goal in one of their six away games.

Burnley v Arsenal Predictions

Arsenal to win: The confidence that Arsenal will have taken in beating Spurs will have been huge and they should have enough to crack Burnley in this one. The Clarets haven’t really faced an attack of note since losing to Man City back in mid October and Arsenal can find a way through them.
