Good morning and welcome to our LIVE coverage of today's early Premier League kick-off between Arsenal and Burnley. Team news coming in a tick...

Got to give Ozil some credit for that, with a great assist slicing through a lot of Burnley bodies in the box. Kolasinac's shot from the far side of the box doesn't make it past the keeper, but Aubameyang is able to get to the ball shortly thereafter.

GOAL! Aubameyang takes his 11th league goal of the season with a rebound off the keeper.

Arsenal toy with the visitors on the edge of the final third, until El Neny loses posession. It's not great.

Quite a lot of empty seats at the Emirates today. It's verrrrrry quiet.

It's not a bad start for Burnley, today. They had a good opportunity early on, they look decent in the counter-attack.

SHOT! Xhaka strikes in the box, but it's straight into the arms of Joe Hart.

Burnley respond with a swift counter-attack. The ref is having words with the players on both sides as they jostle in the box, awaiting a corner.

Early chance there fo Arsenal as Lacazette and Maitland-Niles both scrabble in the box, but some good defending by Tarkowski, for Burnley.

And we're off!

We're very close to kick off now, with the teams in the tunnel.

And of course El Neny's first league start of the season - Unai Emery says he's playing "well" and this is why the time has come. Insightful stuff.

Obviously the big news today is Ozil being given the captain's armband - a big gesture, having been dropped from the starting XI.

Burnley are in the drop zone, just behind Southampton, with just 12 points in their 17 league games.

Arsenal are in fifth place after that costly defeat by Southampton, but they are snapping at fourth place Chelsea's heels. If the North Londoners win today, and Chelsea lose (however unlikely that may seem) they would draw level on points.

On the Burnley side Chris Wood and Jeff Hendrick are back for Aaron Lennon and Robbie Brady - two changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Tottenham in their last league match.

Unai Emery rings the changes today -six in fact, to the side that endured a 3-2 defeat at Southampton in their last league outing.

Mesut Ozil returns as captain and Mohamed Elneny gets a start at last while Sokratis, Alexandre Lacazette, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac all return to the starting XI.
