News about Arsenal as the Gunners host Burnley, who are struggling, at the Emirates Stadium
After suffering their first league loss of the 2023–24 season at Newcastle last weekend, the Gunners are hoping to go back to winning ways. Following some dubious calls, Mikel Arteta became enraged with VAR following Anthony Gordon’s contentious goal in the second half.
Midway through the week, the North Londoners answered with a 2-0 Champions League victory over Sevilla. With two games left, the Gunners lead PSV Eindhoven and RC Lens by four points, all but guaranteeing their spot in the round of 16.
Arsenal welcomes Burnley, one of the Premier League’s bottom three, to N7 for their second straight home encounter. The Clarets have lost nine of their first 11 games in the top league, suffering a horrendous start to their season.
With a win, the Gunners might overtake Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings before the year’s last international break.
Those who aren’t fortunate enough to get tickets to the match will be hoping to see the match on television. Unfortunately, the 3pm blackout—which prevents any sports from being broadcast at that time—means that supporters in the UK won’t be able to see the game.
