This is a match-up of one of the best (if not the best) attacking teams in the Premiership versus the worst defensive team. Injuries will be a concern for Arsenal will be without Sol Campbell, William Gallas, and Robin Van Persie are unavailale. There is good news on the injury front of the Gunners as Andrey Arshavin, Denilson, and Abou Diaby will be returning from injury. Burnley are without Chris McCann and Steve Caldwell but do have Graham Alexander returning from a calf injury.

The two teams played to a 1-1 draw in December but Saturday’s match will a different outcome. Arsenal will have most of its top players available and Burnley struggle to defend on the road.
