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

              He'll drop back and probably Kane for Lamela.

          Same dilemma. Antonio's stats say keep, but my gut is saying to get rid.

          I'd avoid taking a hit if you can.

            It's just a guess isn't it....both Wally and Son are really good strong picks.

            Son would be the one for me because it would give me an interest in both the Spurs and Arsenal games instead of a double up on the Arsenal game. That would be the only reason though.
