ARSENAL will look to keep pace with both Liverpool and Man City in the Premier League when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s men have well and truly re-entered the top-flight title race thanks to a mighty impressive four-match winning run.
Last time out, the Gunners produced an incredible performance to demolish West Ham 6-0 at the London Stadium, in a game that brought up one of my bets.
The empathic victory means Arsenal start the weekend in third spot, just two points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Burnley, meanwhile, remain marooned in the relegation zone following last week’s 3-1 reverse away at Liverpool.
Whilst Vincent Kompany and Co won’t have given up hope of pulling off a great escape, it's going to be a real uphill struggle for the Clarets to collect any points against their capital guests on Saturday.
Outright Betting
Burnley are as big as 9/1(Ladbrokes) to bag what would be just their second Premier League home win of the season while a share of the Turf Moor spoils is trading at 9/2 (William Hill).
Arsenal are odds-on 1/3 favourites on Bet 365 to make it five Premier League wins in succession.
Betting Angles
With Arsenal unbackable as 1/3 shots, I’ll make use of the Bet Builder feature and throw together Arsenal to win, Over 1 Goal and Over One 1st Half Arsenal Corner at 4/5 (Bet 365).
Mikel Arteta’s men have some serious momentum right now and they should prove too strong for a Burnley side that have pocketed a pitiful five points from their 12 Premier League home games this season so far.
What’s more, the Clarets have conceded a minimum of two goals in nine of those 12 Turf Moor tussles, which doesn’t bode well ahead of a visit from an Arsenal side whose confidence will be sky high after slamming six goals past West Ham last Sunday.
In fact, 12 of the Gunners’ 16 league wins this season have featured a minimum of two match goals, as have a whopping 15 of Burnley’s 17 top-flight defeats this term to date.
As such, I’m more than happy to side with an Arsenal win and Over 1 goal on Saturday, but to conclude the 4/5 (Bet 365) selection, I’ll also back the visitors to earn two or more corners before the interval.
The capital club are averaging a league-high 7.58 corners per-game in the top-flight this season, not to mention they have racked up 11 first-half flag kicks across their last two top-flight road trips.
After notching twice against West Ham last Sunday, I’m once again going to back Bukayo Saka in the To Score or Assist market this weekend at 5/6 on PaddyPower.
The Gunners stalwart now has 18 goal involvements in 23 top-flight appearances this term and he looks worth backing to add to that tally against the second leakiest defence in the Premier League.
