Arsenal picks up three points despite going down to 10 men. They are now level on points with Manchester City atop the table, but the reigning champs still get to play tomorrow.

Vincent Kompany names an unchanged starting lineup:

• GK: James Trafford
• RB: Vitinho
• CB: Dara O'Shea
• CB: Jordan Beyer
• LB: Charlie Taylor
• RM: Johann Berg Gudmundsson
• CM: Sander Berge
• CM: Josh Brownhill (C)
• LM: Luca Koleosho
• FW: Zeki Amdouni
• FW: Jay Rodriguez

Mikel Arteta has named his starting XI, as typical mainstay Ben White misses out:

• GK: David Raya
• RB: Takehiro Tomiyasu
• CB: William Saliba
• CB: Gabriel
• LB: Oleksandr Zinchenko
• DM: Jorginho (C)
• CM: Declan Rice
• CM: Kai Havertz

Mikel Arteta felt hard done by VAR decisions last week against Newcastle. As a result of the loss, Arsenal slumped to fourth in the Premier League. Burnley presents an opportunity to get back on track, but Vincent Kompany and the Clarets will do everything in their power to ensure that does not happen.
