English Premier League: Saturday Matchday 2 best picks and predictions
Thanks to Burnley for opening their Premier League account with three goals and a clean sheet, giving this game has a lot more hype. They travel to an Emirates Stadium that accommodates a different Arsenal of Gunners.
Both on the Premier League table with three points apiece and with Burnley scoring two more than the hosts for this one, they’ve contrived a better-anticipated opener for the next week of action.
Sean Dyche and his Clarets are still in search of their first win the Gunners-Clarets’ meeting. In the last two alone there’s been eight goals, four a game, with Arsenal scoring three in each of them. Burnley’s start has put a higher expectation on the game, but an Unai Emery win is the most likely outcome.
However, it’s the new personnel taking part in the fixture that makes it one not to miss this Saturday. Will Pepe start? Will Lacazette start? One goal scored in the previous fixture suggests they should.
Dyche will hope his Burnley side heads to the Emirates as stubborn as ever, and they build on their first three points on Matchday 1.
