We take a look ahead to Sunday afternoon's Premier League clash between Burnley and Arsenal at Turf Moor.

Both sides enter this game level on 22 points and Arsenal will be taking nothing for granted given last season's results were only tipped in their favour by 90th-minute winners.

Burnley:

The hosts have won their last three league games have already proven themselves against top-six clubs this campaign.

They beat Chelsea on the opening day of the season and have since drawn at Liverpool and Spurs.

Chris Wood is available again after missing last weekend's win against Swansea due to fatigue, but Tom Heaton, Dean Marney and Jon Walters are all sidelined with injuries.

Arsenal:

The Gunners will be looking to build on their emphatic 2-0 win over north London derby rivals Tottenham last time out.

They will recall a number of first-team regulars, with Arsene Wenger having made 11 changes for Thursday's Europa League loss at Cologne.

Recent form:

Possible lineups:

Burnley: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Ward, Gudmundsson, Defour, Cork, Brady, Hendrick, Barnes.

Arsenal: Cech; Koscielny, Mustafi, Monreal; Bellerin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Kolasinac; Ozil, Sanchez, Lacazette.
