Dimitar Berbatov has predicted how Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will fare against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker thinks that there will be four goals in the Premier League match.
So, what has Dimitar Berbatov said about Burnley against Arsenal? Let’s take a look.
Dimitar Berbatov backs Arsenal to beat Burnley
Well, Arsenal will take on Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Arsenal are third in the table now. Mikel Arteta’s side are only two points behind leaders Liverpool.
Burnley are second from bottom in the standings and have picked up just 13 points from 24 games,
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Dimitar Berbatov thinks that Arsenal will beat Burnley.
Berbatov told Metro: “This is an important game for Arsenal. On the other hand, Burnley will have a slim chance of survival if they beat Arsenal, but are they going to win?
“Arsenal are experienced now and the maturity is there. Arsenal need to stay concentrated. Games like this are important for Arsenal because if you drop points then you’re not mature enough to win the title. I’ll go for Arsenal to win. Prediction 1-3.”
My View: Easy win for Arsenal at Turf Moor
In my opinion, Arsenal, who want to sign Ferran Torres, will win against Burnley at Turf Moor with ease on Saturday afternoon. I expect Mikel Arteta’s side to hammer Vincent Kompany’s team.
Arsenal beat West Ham United 6-0 at London Stadium in the Premier League last weekend. It came after a 3-1 victory over Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in the league.
I do not see how Burnley could stop Arsenal even at home. The Gunners have won their last four Premier League matches. The Clarets have lost three of their last five league games and have won just three league fixtures all season.
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has praised David Raya for the way he has been playing in goal this season.
Arteta told Arsenal’s official website: “What I like about David, as well is what he does in goal. The things that he prevents us from, you don’t even see because they don’t happen, because he has anticipated them.
“But yeah, obviously he had the environment that was very challenging. But that’s what I love about him. The players with the courage and the character and personality.
“When even it is like this, they want to be themselves and they push themselves to do that. He has earned the right to be very respected and I’m really happy that he’s winning.”
