Arsenal v Burnley: 2014
Arsenal v Burnley in a fixture where the majority are expecting a goal avalanche and an Arsenal move into the top four…
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is expected to sit out Saturday’s visit of Burnley because of a knee injury. Kieran Gibbs faces a fitness test, while Mathieu Debuchy, Yaya Sanogo, Laurent Koscielny, Mesut Ozil, Abou Diaby and Olivier Giroud are all out.
Burnley’s Dean Marney has trained all week and is expected to return from a hamstring problem. However, this game comes to soon for Steven Reid, who is not yet fit enough to play after a groin injury.
One of the things often said about the Premier League is that anyone can beat anyone else on their day. They trot that one out along with the “there are no easy games in international football” line. Well, believe me, we love a good upset as much as it’s hard to see Burnley winning at Arsenal……..you never just know?
There’s £30 in Free bets on offer…..so maybe use on Burnley to score…….or BTTS – YES for a nice return?
