Arsenal starting XI: Leno; Bellerin, Gabriel, Holding, Tierney; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Willian, Lacazette; Aubameyang.

Arsenal substitutes: Runarsson, Ceballos, Maitland-Niles, Mustafi, Willock, Nketiah, Smith Rowe.

Burnley starting XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Brady; Wood, Rodriguez.

Burnley substitutes: Peaock-Farrell, Pieters, Long, Dunne, Benson, Vydra, Barnes.

Arsenal go with Bernd Leno in goal, with a back four of Hector Bellerin, Gabriel Magalhaes, Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney – the same defence as against Tottenham Hotspur last week.

Mohamed Elneny comes in for the injured Thomas Partey, partnering Granit Xhaka in midfield, whilst it seems that Bukayo Saka will be on the left flank.

Willian will then start on the right, with Alexandre Lacazette working just behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Arsenal attack.

Eddie Nketiah is on the bench, alongside Runar Runarsson, Dani Ceballos, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Shkodran Mustafi, Joe Willock and Emile Smith Rowe.

Burnley have Nick Pope between the sticks, with a very familiar defensive setup in front of him as Matt Lowton, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee and Charlie Taylor start.

Ashley Westwood joins Josh Brownhill in the heart of midfield, with Dwight McNeil and Robbie Brady featuring on the flanks.

Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez start in attack, meaning Ashley Barnes is only a substitute tonight.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Erik Pieters, Kevin Long, Jimmy Dunne, Josh Benson and Matej Vydra.
