Burnley predicted line-up vs Arsenal as key man returns from suspension - gallery

Burnley face the daunting task of taking on title challengers Arsenal this weekend looking to avoid a fifth straight league defeat.

Further salt was rubbed into the wounds last week when the Clarets lost 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace despite a much improved performance.

Vincent Kompany’s men now head to North London with Josh Cullen back available after serving his one-match ban.

Arijanet Muric is also unavailable as he’s been called up to the Kosovan squad for their rearranged Euro 2024 qualifier against Israel, which takes place on Sunday.
