Burnley v Arsenal Betting Preview – Premier League 2nd October
Can Burnley build on the success that they landed last weekend when they comfortably put a win on the board against Watford. Naturally, it is going to be a tougher thing to achieve against the Gunners, who are in a confident mood at the moment. The North London outfit have strung together four wins on the bounce in the Premier League now and after having destroyed rivals Chelsea last weekend, will expect to be leaving Turf Moor with three points in the bag. Can the Clarets do anything to stop them?

Burnley v Arsenal Betting Tips
What can the Clarets do about Arenal’s immense form at the moment? Well, they will take some confidence into this game after having beaten Watford at Turf Moor last Monday. You would imagine that a point against Arsenal would make them pretty happy to follow up with. Sunday is a busy day in the Premier League and this is the last game of the day. Burnley are not running in great overall form against Arsenal in the League, as they have gone winless seven league games against the Gunners (D3 L4). Not only that, the Clarets are on a three match losing streak against Arsenal in the Premier League and they have struck just the two goals in their last six against the North London club as well.
So Burnley haven’t scored in four of their last six against the Gunners and they may find it difficult to do so on Sunday as they are going to be pressed back quite a bit. Burnley though are unbeaten at home in the top flight this season with a great W2 D1 record. Their wins there came against Liverpool and Watford and they earned a point against Hull. So from their three home games, Burney have only conceded the one goal at Turf Moor and there may be a temptation on going under 2.5 goals for the game. That option will fetch you a price of 11/10 with online betting site William Hill. To add weight to that, the last three league meetings between the two sides at Turf Moor have produced a total of just three goals (0-0, 1-1 and most recently, 0-1). Overall, the Clarets have conceded just five goals in their last 17 home league games, and never more than once in a match in that period.
So Arsenal may be made to work pretty hard if they are going to get the maximum points in this one. However, the Gunners are in some brilliant form right now with four wins on the bounce in the top flight. They are unbeaten in their last eight games across all competitions and have scored 19 goals in that sequence. Arsenal crushed Chelsea in the first half of their London derby last weekend, tearing apart the Blues with three first half goals and never letting them back in the game. Arsenal will be trying to win five successive league games for the first time since last October and are running as favourites for this fixture where both teams not to score is a price of 8/11.
Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez have found a real rhythm together and Sanchez has prior against Burnley. The Chilean star has been involved in four goals in three appearances against the Clarets in all competitions, scoring three and assisting one. Sanchez can be backed at a price of 21/20 in the anytime goalscorer market for the game, with Theo Walcott at 8/5. Walcott was on the scoresheet twice in midweek with Arsenal beating Basel comfortably in the UEFA Champions League. The Gunners have won 22 and drawn three of their last 25 Premier League games against newly-promoted teams and they are an 11/10 quote to win to nil in this one. The Gunners won 1-0 on their last visit to Turf Moor and Arsenal 1-0 in the correct score market is a quote of 7/1.

Arsenal 4/11, Draw 15/4, Burnley 7/1
Burnley v Arsenal Predictions
Well the recent clashes between these two at Turf Moor have been low scoring affairs. We would suggest that backing Arsenal to win to nil in this one would be the way to go and the game could easily drift under 2.5 goals because of that. Burnley have done some good stuff at home this season from a battling perspective and it may take a while for Arsenal to get their break through but the North London side should win this one.
