Preview
Burnley head into this after a 3-1 loss to Everton in the Premier League last week.
Goals from Keane, Townsend and Gray ensured the points for the Toffees while Mee scored one for Burnley.
With just one point in four matches, Dyche’s men are woefully out of form and need a turnaround in their performance if they are to arrest their rocky slide this season.
On the other hand, Arsenal picked up their first win and points of the season with a 1-0 win over Norwich through Aubameyang’s goal.
The Gunners eye back-to-back wins this season and with Burnley out of form, this is the chance for Arteta’s side to help steady their ship.

Both sides met in the Premier League earlier in March this year where it finished 1-1 at the Turf Moor.
Aubameyang’s goal was cancelled out by Wood in that clash as both sides shared the spoils.

Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Arsenal
Arsenal will look to build on last week’s win and with Burnley out of form, the Gunners should pick up the points here.
Burnley’s has just a sole point from 4 matches and lack the momentum. Hence, Arsenal should make use of this and snaffle up the points.
Players to watch out for: McNeil, Wood, Aubameyang and Ødegaard.
