Overview
- Kickoff is 3:00pm UK on Saturday, November 1 at Turf Moor, with no live TV in the UK due to the 3pm blackout; BBC radio commentary and later highlights are available.
- Mikel Arteta confirmed Gabriel Martinelli will miss the match and said William Saliba is doubtful, adding that longer-term absentees such as Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz are tracking toward returns in the coming weeks.
- Arsenal top the Premier League with 22 points from nine matches and a four-point cushion, having closed October with a run of clean sheets that set a top-flight monthly mark.
- The Gunners have relied heavily on dead-ball situations this season with 11 set-piece goals (69% of their league total), a factor to watch against a Burnley side reported to have conceded only one set-piece goal so far.
- Burnley enter in improved form after consecutive league wins and sit 16th on 10 points, with injuries continuing for Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts and Zeki Amdouni.
