Arsenal arrive at Turf Moor on Saturday aiming to extend an extraordinary run to nine successive wins in all competitions. The league leaders have not conceded since Nick Woltemade headed for Newcastle on September 28, and they sit four points clear at the top.

Burnley have been a tougher prospect than many expected. Scott Parker’s side are up to 16th after back-to-back wins, including last weekend’s dramatic 3–2 triumph at Molineux. The Clarets also beat Leeds United 2–0 earlier in October and look set to be involved in the relegation scrap, although victory over Leeds and Wolves has eased some immediate pressure.

Form (most recent five):
Wolves 2–3 Burnley – 26/10/25
Burnley 2–0 Leeds – 18/10/25
Burnley 2–1 Aston Villa – 05/10/25

Team news and tactics
Parker may switch to a back five to limit Arsenal in and around the penalty area. Hjalmar Ekdal could return to the starting eleven. Zian Flemming, who scored his first two Premier League goals last weekend, is expected to operate alongside Jaidon Anthony. Lyle Foster, fit enough to score the winner at Wolves, may again be used from the bench. Connor Roberts, Zeki Amdouni and Jordan Beyer remain sidelined.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Gabriel Martinelli will miss the trip. William Saliba could make the matchday squad after missing the Carabao Cup win over Brighton. Declan Rice picked up a knock but was fit enough to feature off the bench midweek. Riccardo Calafiori was not risked; Myles Lewis-Skelly or Piero Hincapié are options if Calafiori is unavailable. Arteta hopes Kai Havertz, Martin Ødegaard and Noni Madueke will return after the November international break. Gabriel Jesus’s return will not be rushed following a long-term knee injury earlier in the year.

Predicted lineups
Burnley (5-3-2): Dúbravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Ekdal, Estève, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Luís; Anthony, Flemming.

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Eze; Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard.

Arsenal’s six consecutive clean sheets underline their defensive solidity. Burnley’s recent 3-goal performance and counter-attacking efficiency pose a threat, but Arsenal’s defence is expected to make this a difficult afternoon for the hosts.

A quarter of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign is behind us and Gameweek 10 could reshape several ongoing narratives. Arsenal head into the round with the clearest advantage. They sit four points clear of second-placed Bournemouth, six ahead of Man City and seven in front of Liverpool. Mikel Arteta’s side travel to Burnley on Saturday and will be expected to press home their superiority after scoring five at Turf Moor on their previous visit.

Defensively the Gunners have been exceptional. They have conceded just three times in all competitions and went the entirety of October without allowing a goal. Their set-piece threat has supplied narrow but decisive margins in recent matches and they will be keen to extend their lead with a win at Burnley.

Manchester United are enjoying their strongest period under Ruben Amorim, having secured a third successive victory at home to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend. The Red Devils were convincing for 75 minutes before nervy moments as the Seagulls pressed late. Their rebuilt forward line, with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha prominent in the Brighton win and Benjamin Šeško having opened his account in recent weeks, has been central to the upturn. Bruno Fernandes remains a reliable presence when needed. United travel to Nottingham Forest hoping to make it four straight wins and end the weekend inside the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur have been inconsistent but are third in the table on 17 points from nine matches. Thomas Frank’s Spurs face a London derby with Chelsea on Saturday. Chelsea arrive off a disappointing home defeat to Sunderland and a nervy Carabao Cup 4–3 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Spurs have won just once in eight home meetings with Chelsea across 90 minutes, yet Frank’s more cautious approach could help the Lilywhites seek a rare north London victory over the Blues.

Liverpool are in crisis after six defeats in seven across all competitions and four straight league losses following defeats to Brentford and Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. They have not lost five successive league matches since 1953, but that unwanted milestone is a real possibility against Aston Villa, who beat in-form Man City last weekend. At the Etihad on Sunday, Erling Haaland’s absence of goals has correlated with Man City defeats, and the Norwegian rarely blanks twice in a row. Bournemouth face a highly motivated City attack as the round concludes.

Mikel Arteta has provided fresh timelines for the returns of Noni Madueke, Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz, suggesting the trio could be available after the November international break.

Ødegaard, who sustained a knee problem in September, is among the long-term absentees the manager hopes to welcome back. Arsenal’s squad depth has cushioned their absence as the Gunners sit four points clear at the top of the Premier League ahead of Saturday’s trip to Burnley.

Arteta confirmed that none of the long-term absentees would be ready for Turf Moor but offered optimism about the period immediately after the break. “I would say weeks, and some of them pretty soon, hopefully,” he said. “We have the international break, but after that we hope to have come of them back.”

Arsenal travel to Slavia Prague in the Champions League in midweek before facing Sunderland in the Premier League, a sequence that takes them into November’s international weekend. The club’s next fixture after the break is the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

Arteta underlined the value of the returning players to the squad and his delight at their progress. “Yeah, I’m excited because they are tremendous players,” he continued. “I see them work every single day, how desperate they are to be part of the team. The huge boost that is going to be for the squad to have and those players again, after such a long, long time, so really happy that I think it’s going to be very soon.”

Short-term issues persist. Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba were both ruled out of the midweek win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Martinelli remains sidelined, while Saliba’s participation against Burnley is uncertain. “Martinelli… still out, Saliba we have to wait and see,” Arteta confirmed. “We don’t know [when Martinelli will return], but this game comes too early for him.”
