Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Arsenal’s duel with Burnley. Team news imminent. We get underway in 45 minutes!

CLOSE! Mesut Ozil lines up a shot from distance, but Tom Heaton is equal to it. Corner.

CHANCE! Lowton wins the ball and breaks forward. His low cross is a tester, but Petr Cech comes and holds.

Close. Giroud's clever knock-down almost invites the galloping Monreal to have a shooting chance. Just got too much on it.

Alex Iwobi is released down the right flank. His cross skims along the surface and away to safety.

Ridiculous stat alert!

Arsenal start with 11 foreign players (non-English) for the 149th time in the Premier League. All other teams combined have done this 122 times.

Arsenal have finally settled. Burnley packing the midfield. Conclusion: an early goal would open this up nicely.

THIS.

Alexis Sanchez comes alive down the left flank, weaving down the wing before teasing in a cross. Olivier Giroud's flick is cleared... just.

Bergkamp-esque! Ashley Barnes exquisitely brings the ball down inside the penalty area, fresh from being replaced by Dean Marney. Then he bottles it.

Andre Gray breaks the Arsenal offside trap, but Laurent Koscielny darts back to avert the danger. Bright start from the visitors.

The challenge facing Burnley today.

Shot alert! Jeff Hendrick gets the Burnley stats rolling with a simply dreadful effort.

George Boyd rampages through the Arsenal midfield and is upended by the back-tracking Nacho Monreal. Free-kick. All Burnley (in the opening 120 seconds).

We're underway!

Alexis Sanchez gets a first glimpse of his new (tragic) banner, wandering out onto the pitch with his Arsenal colleagues. How long will he stick around at the Emirates?

Surely that poster is just encouraging him to leave. It's an eyesore. Anyway, we're just moments away from kick-off!

YUCK.

Tottenham: draw

Liverpool: lose

Manchester United: draw

Manchester City: draw

It wasn't only a good time to be a Chelsea fan yesterday. Arsenal probably blew up with excitement at yesterday's results, but will they accept the invitation to climb the Premier League table?

Security at the Emirates have potentially uncovered the most Arsenal-themed boot in motoring.

Apparently this isn’t a hoax – here’s Andrey Arshavin doing something good for Arsenal against Burnley in a bygone era.

- If Arsenal win… they go second.

- If Arsenal draw… they go third.

- If Arsenal lose… then stay in their natural habitat, fourth.
