Burnley welcome Arsenal to Turf Moor intending to make the afternoon “tough” for the rampaging Gunners.
Mikel Arteta's side visit the Clarets in the best of shape and form, having dispatched West Ham United (6-0) at the London Stadium.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard amongst others are in the form of their lives, with the Gunners clicking to form at the right time.
The title race is beginning to get more heated, with Liverpool and Manchester City striving to achieve glory.
Vincent Kompany certainly knows that this isn't the best time for his side to play Arsenal, having gone on a 7-match winless run across all competitions.
They last recorded a victory on December 23, 2023, defeating Fulham (2-0) away at Craven Cottage.
Heading into this encounter, Burnley suffered a 3-1 loss at Anfield to Liverpool, with Dara O'shea's goal to cancel Diego Jota's opener being their only goal in the game.
Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez completed the job for Jurgen Klopp's side, leaving the Clarets in pain, as they battle to get back to positive fortunes.
They are one of the basement sides on the table, as they sit 19th on the Premier League log with 13 points from 24 matches.
The Championship champions are 7 points away from safety and they will need to get back on track quickly for their survival hopes not to be up with the wind.
Saturday's game against the Gunners will be a test of their resolve and another opportunity to prove a point if they are keen on remaining in the top flight.
Arsenal sit 3rd on the Premier League table, with 52 points from 24 matches, just 2 points behind league-leaders Liverpool (54), and level on points with 2nd-placed Manchester City (52).
In the return leg at the Emirates, Burnley lost 3-1 in November 2023, with Leandro Trossard, William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko scoring for Arsenal.
The hosts for the meeting on Saturday, February 17, 2024, got their solitary goal in the encounter through Josh Browhill, as they suffered a similar fate as they did against Liverpool last weekend.
Anyway, head-to-head meetings in about a decade expectedly favor Arsenal, with Arsenal picking up 12 victories in their last 15 games.
The encounter has ended in draws on 3 occasions, while Burnley have recorded just one win, and that came to the fore on Sunday, December 13, 2020, as they defeated the Gunners by 1-0.
