The 3pm Saturday Premier League kickoff at Turf Moor will see struggling Burnley take on high-flying Arsenal, with the Gunners aiming to make it two wins in a row against the Clarets.
Arsenal are thrilled about their recent 6-0 victory over West Ham, which kept them undefeated in the Premier League in 2024.
Although they have drawn two of their previous four games, Burnley lost to Liverpool and haven’t won since before Christmas.
According to TBRFootball, BBC Sport pundit, Chris Sutton has made a prediction for the Burnley vs. Arsenal match, putting the Gunners up 2-1.
The analyst believes that since the Clarets are fighting to stay in the Premier League, it will be a ‘dangerous fixture’ for the Gunners.
“I am at Turf Moor for this one,” began Sutton. “And I don’t think it will be as straightforward for Arsenal as some people might think.
“As ridiculous as it might sound, I was very impressed by Burnley when I watched them in their defeat against Liverpool.
“They started well, were well organised, and created chances, big chances… they just couldn’t take them.
“In the end, they paid the price for a couple of individual errors which get heightened when they happen in a close game like that one.
“They cannot afford many more of those if they want to stay in the Premier League.

“Mikel Arteta’s side have just beaten Liverpool and West Ham, so this might seem as if it is the easiest of their current run.
“I do think Arsenal will win though.”
