The Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Arsenal

Gameweek 7 comes to its conclusion as Burnley welcome Arsenal to Turf Moor.

The Gunners roll up on the back of four straight league wins, with Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott both in fine recent form.

The Chilean teed up Walcott’s pair of strikes in the midweek Champions League win over FC Basel and with three double-figure hauls in four, carries the armband hopes of many at Turf Moor.

Walcott has now notched five times in seven across all competitions and has risen to 6% ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

Another big performance today would surely kick start a bandwagon over the international break, yet Arsene Wenger’s side face an obstinate Clarets rearguard that has conceded just five goals in the previous 17 league matches in front of their own supporters.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    It's hard for me to see Iago Aspas and Mario Balotelli doing well after their performances for Liverpool

        On the fence at the minute.Stats still look good with him, but Wally's form and fixtures plus Liverpool's fixtures turning more favourable after the next GW means there just may not be an room in my midfield for him. Other three starting mid spots are Sterling, Sanchez and Firmino who are all proving fairly untouchable at the minute.

    Sanchez - Payet - Firmino - Bolasie - Carrick
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    2 FTs and 0.2m in the bank.

    A. Lukaku+Bolasie ➡ Defoe+Walcott/Son

      Don't think you need to do anything much. If you're twitchy then maybe Antonio to Son and sell Capoue to get some profit.
      Less exciting but I'd prob try and do something with Jaku and a Def.

    Refusing to give up on Ibra just yet, feel sure he's about to punish sellers - stats are still amazing, can't believe he hasn't scored - his threat score was 135 against stoke. Hoping he thrives on the big games against liverpool and chelsea.
