A look at the team news in both camps ahead of Saturday

Burnley

Hjalmar Ekdal, Manuel Benson and Michael Obafemi all continue their recovery to full fitness following their respective long-term injuries with 60 minutes for the U21s last weekend. Darko Churlinov and CJ Egan-Riley both completed 90 minutes in the same game.

Midfielder Aaron Ramsey is still suffering from a knock and remains a doubt for this weekend's trip to Arsenal.

Josh Cullen is back available for selection after missing last weekend's fixture through suspension.

If selected, Charlie Taylor will make his 200th appearance for the Clarets on Saturday after joining in 2017.

Arsenal

Forward Bukayo Saka was forced off with a slight knock on Thursday night against Sevilla in the Europa League clash at the Emirates. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed there will be a late fitness check on the England international ahead of the weekend.

Captain Martin Odegaard hasn't featured since the Carabao Cup defeat to West Ham last week, Arteta says a decision is to be made on the Norwegian for Saturday.

Midfielder Thomas Partey and winger Emile Smith-Rowe are both ruled out for the clash against the Clarets with respective thigh and knee injuries.

Former Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is also a doubt for the weekend after not featuring since the Gunners' win over Sevilla on 24th October with a thigh injury.

Eddie Nketiah started in Arsenal's defeat to Newcastle last weekend but missed Thursday's Europa League tie with a knock and could miss this weekend.

Dutch defender Jurien Timber will still be sidelined for the game after picking up an ACL injury back in August.
