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

    If Burnley had Gray today, Arsenal would be in trouble. This reminds me of the Liverpool match where we took it slow then Burnley eventually scored. Arsenal need to go full throttle now.

      Giroud's hold up would help now but it's not his fault. Whole team is lethargic in attack. Need the fullbacks to overlap more.

    We need to stretch them out a bit more. I would like bellerin and Monreal to get involved. Its a bit to easy for Burnley to defend against us atm. Give them extra things to worry about!
