Leaders Arsenal Visit Burnley With Martinelli Out, Saliba Doubtful

Top-of-the-table Arsenal arrive on an eight-game winning run built on a month of clean sheets.

Overview

  • Arsenal hold a four-point lead after nine matches and have not conceded in six October games, with eight straight wins in all competitions.
  • Mikel Arteta confirmed Gabriel Martinelli will miss the Turf Moor trip and said William Saliba will be assessed, with several longer-term absentees expected back in the coming weeks.
  • Following a rotated 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Brighton, first-team regulars are expected to return, and Cristhian Mosquera could deputise at centre-back if Saliba is unavailable.
  • Burnley come in with two successive league victories and sit 16th on 10 points, with Scott Parker likely to opt for a more defensive setup.
  • The 3pm UK blackout rules out live television coverage domestically, with radio commentary and later highlights available.
