Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Burnley and Arsenal. The Clarets are on the same points total as Mikel Arteta's side which is remarkable considering it feels like Burnley have been embroiled in a relegation battle for much of the season. That says much about Arsenal at the moment. Still, there have been signs of encouragement for the Gunners in recent weeks, and a win today would extend their unbeaten record in 2020 and lift them up to ninth.

FULL-TIME: How this game ended goalless is anyone's guess. Believe it or not, Mikel Arteta will be the happier of the two managers. Burnley's pressure in the second half was, at times, relentless.

Arsenal, still without an away victory under Arteta, have a corner now as Lowton heads Bellerin's cross behind his goal. But the set-piece comes to nothing.
85'
Into the last five minutes and the game remains in the balance.
83'
It has been another impressive showing by Tarkowski at the heart of the Burnley defence. He blocks Lacazette's shot and the deflection falls to Pope.

Yellow card! Tarkowski is late on Willock and deserves a booking.

Off the woodwork! Oh my, how has Rodriguez not scored?! He peels off the back of Luiz and side-foots the ball off the underside of the crossbar!

Close! Aubameyang has seven goals in four games against Burnley - and he's just spurned a great opportunity to add to that figure. He's well positioned to meet Lacazette's cross but curls his header wide of Pope's goal.
75'
Bellerin cuts in from the right flank but shoots well, well wide of the goal. Still, Arsenal are improving.
73'
Pope collides with Luiz but thankfully both players are OK and play resumes.
72'
Xhaka runs down the left and stands up a dangerous cross - but Mee defends it superbly, beating Lacazette to the ball, who was ready to pounce.
71'
Martinelli and Aubameyang have swapped flanks.
70'
Hard to argue with this; Arsenal could do with Pepe's energy and drive.
69'
And now Willock tries his luck - but it's always drifting wide.
68'
Arsenal register their first shot on target since the restart. It's a half decent effort by Torreira but his shot from distance is straight forward for Pope.
67'
No one can argue that Ozil hasn't been given an opportunity by Arteta. But he has barely deserved it.
65'
Rodriguez drags a shot wide as Burnley's wastefulness continues.

Arsenal sub: Ozil has been largely anonymous today again and he's deservedly hooked after the hour mark. Joe Willock is his replacement.

Just wide! Burnley's pressure is relentless - but still they can't find the opener. Taylor collects a wonderful diagonal ball on the left, feeding it to McNeil who dinks a cross into the middle. Hendrick climbs above Xhaka but sends the ball agonisingly past the post with Leno well beaten.
