Arsenal vs Burnley Prediction

Arsenal Form

Arsenal swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 3-0 against Fulham. They went on to defeat Atletico Madrid 1-0 and made it three on the spin against West Ham in a 0-1 victory. Arsenal showed little mercy in their past six matches at Emirates Stadium, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 12 times, while letting in three themselves.

Ambitions were high for Arsenal, who had their eyes on the title this season, and they are very closing to realizing the ambitions.

Burnley Form

In their previous three games, Burnley lost 0-1 and 3-1 against Manchester City and Leeds, respectively, before drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa. Burnley only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches they drew one and lost four as well as being outscored by 15 goals to seven.

Burnley are closer to the relegation zone than they would have wished for at this late stage of the season. They are still capable of pulling clear though and securing another season in the top flight.

While we don't believe Burnley are strong enough to prevent Arsenal from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Arsenal showed very little mercy in their last 11 games against teams from the bottom six. They claimed 29 points and nine wins after scoring 29 goals and conceding five. No other side in the Premier League claimed as many points against teams from the bottom. Burnley claimed zero wins and five points in their last 11 games against teams from the top six. They scored ten times in these matches, but also conceded 20 goals. Arsenal are looking at a record of 24 wins, seven draws and five defeats in the Premier League this season. Burnley are looking at four wins, nine draws and 23 defeats in the Premier League.
