Betting Tip: Burnley - Arsenal
Burnley are in excellent shape and have been able to really limit their opponents when playing at home, even those of very talented squads. That being said, Arsenal are on a roll and seem capable of breaking through just about any defence. They’ve had their way at Turf Moor recently, and we expect them to find a way here as well.

Burnley
Burnley earned a dramatic 3-2 away win at Wolves, which is a very important result for the team. Goalkeeper Dubravka kept them alive early on with two key saves before Flemming opened the scoring in the 14th minute and doubled it on the half-hour mark.
The hosts responded with a penalty after 41 minutes and equalised deep into the first-half stoppage time. The second half turned into a thrilling contest, as both sides had chances. Wolves hit the post in the 65th minute, but in the final seconds of the game, Foster struck with a superb finish to decide the contest.
That precious win lifted Burnley to 16th place, five points above the drop zone, and, for the first time this season, gave them back-to-back league victories, boosting morale significantly.
Now returning to Turf Moor, they remain a tough opponent for anyone. Their home form may not be perfect, but with defensive cohesion and sharpness in key moments, they are capable of troubling any side.
Arsenal
Arsenal delivered a professional performance to edge Crystal Palace 1-0 at the Emirates, nothing more than that. The Gunners controlled the game from the outset without creating clear chances, but Eze’s acrobatic strike in the 39th minute proved decisive.
After the break, Arteta’s men looked livelier, and Gabriel Magalhães hit the post, while Saka and Rice came close. Despite that, the scoreline did not change.
The result keeps Arsenal firmly at the top of the table, now four points clear of their nearest challengers. It was their fourth consecutive victory and extended their unbeaten league run to six matches.
Arsenal’s success is built on an outstanding defensive foundation, having conceded just three goals all season. With an ability to capitalise on set pieces, Arsenal look every inch the favourites, both for their upcoming visit to Burnley and for the championship itself.
