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.

England have named a 21-player squad for the 48-team FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar, which begins at the start of November. The group contains a heavy contingent drawn from Premier League academies, underlining the route those clubs provide to the senior game.

Marc Guéhi, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Phil Foden were among those who started the 2017 final victory over Spain, with the latest crop of youngsters hoping to emulate their success in the coming years. Only four members of Ryan’s 21-player squad do not currently ply their trade for Premier League teams. Lyon forward Alejandro Rodríguez is the only player based outside England, while Louis Page, Dylan Moody and Igor Tyjon represent Leicester City, Southampton and Blackburn Rovers respectively in the Championship.

Manchester City supply more players than any other club. City defenders Dante Headley and Kaden Braithwaite are joined by midfielder Harrison Miles and forward Reigan Heskey, who is identified in the squad as the son of former Liverpool and Villa striker Emile Heskey. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur provide three players each. Chelsea’s representatives are Landon Emenalo, Reggie Walsh, who has already made his senior debut at club level, and Chizaram Ezenwata. Tottenham’s trio are Jun’ai Byfield, Luca Williams-Barnett and Tynan Thomspon.

Liverpool are the only traditional Big Six club without a player in the travelling party. Arsenal’s sole inclusion is goalkeeper Jack Porter, the 17-year-old who made his Gunners senior debut in the Carabao Cup last season. West Ham United’s Lanre Awesu and Southampton’s Dylan Moody complete the goalkeeping group.

Other Premier League names in the squad include Manchester United’s Bendito Mantato, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Freddie Simmonds, Fulham’s Seth Ridgeon and Aston Villa’s Bradley Burrowes. The list reflects the strength of top-flight youth systems and offers a clear development pathway for those selected.

England have been drawn into Group E for the tournament. Their group-stage schedule begins against Venezuela on Nov. 4, continues with Haiti on Nov. 7 and finishes against Egypt on Nov. 10, with Egypt appearing at the competition for the first time since 1997.
