- Arsenal have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, losing once.
- Burnley have lost four of their last five games (D1).
Arteta’s Arsenal can be irresistible
Our Arsenal vs Burnley prediction centers on the fact that Arsenal are top of the Premier League table with 79 points from 36 games and Burnley sit 19th with 21 points from 36 so Monday’s clash of top and bottom has major significance.
Mikel Arteta has created a system that has allowed his players to assert control and dominate games with a 4-3-3 system that can morph into many attacking shapes and create numerical overloads with their inverted full-backs. The Gunners have scored an average of 2.22 goals per game at home in the Premier League while conceding just 0.61 and it’s hard to see Burnley having an easy evening in London.
Viktor Gyökeres has 14 goals in 34 Premier League games for the Gunners and has been an excellent addition to the squad, but it is the system that Arteta has installed that makes Arsenal a force to be reckoned with. Regarding Arsenal vs Burnley preview, this tactical approach should give the Gunners an edge.
Burnley are in trouble
Burnley have had a difficult campaign but new boss Mike Jackson could bring some fresh ideas to a squad that have become a little stale. They usually line up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and trigger-press in a disciplined manner before trying to form compact defensive blocks and counter-attack when possible.
Zian Flemming has been a bright spark for the Clarets with 10 goals in 27 Premier League appearances, including two in their last five games, and they should be up against it at the Emirates. Burnley have scored 20 goals in 18 Premier League away games, showing occasional threat but also vulnerability on the road.
This Arsenal vs Burnley prediction also considers Burnley's away struggles throughout the season.
Arsenal should win
Given Arsenal’s form and the fact Burnley have lost their last two away games and the hosts are unbeaten in their last three at home, this looks a sure home victory. The Arsenal vs Burnley betting tips focus on Burnley having only won two of their 18 away league games, drawing three and losing 13, and Arsenal are a great price at 1.11 to win.
We can see a few goals in this matchup too, with Arsenal’s attacking style pitted against Burnley’s more pragmatic approach, so 1.29 looks like a great odds for over 2.5 goals and 2.41 for both teams to score.
