The Gunners beat Newcastle 1-0 at St James’ Park on the opening weekend thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s ruthless finish and a solid defensive shift from a makeshift backline.

Boss Unai Emery was forced to deploy several youngsters and fringe players across the pitch, including Joe Willock in midfield and Calum Chambers at the back.

Summer signing Nicolas Pepe came off the bench last weekend and could get more game time this weekend, while David Luiz is now available for the Gunners.

Burnley kicked off their season in perfect style as they beat Southampton 3-0 at Turf Moor.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

Burnley can shut a game down like no-one else can. Their gameplan won't always succeed, but they're rarely torn open.

The Clarets are never a fun team to break down, particularly on the road, as Dyche will unashamedly set up for a point.

However, while Arsenal’s attacking stars may not have hit their top stride, they have enough to edge a hard-fought battle against an opponent who shouldn’t be underestimated.
