Got to do more than just crossing today, Burnley CB will just head those away all day
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It will be more and more crossing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If the crosses hit a teammate it's okay.

Tbf to Arteta, we can play Gunnersaurus instead of Xhaka and should still win fairly comfortably.

Which is a shame because Gunnersaurus is probably quicker than Xhaka in midfield
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why should we be fair to Arteta? He is too scared to drop Xhaka. Only tough on young kids.

We don't have the strikers with the Aerial ability

Well a pass from the flanks would also do it.

I'm with you on this bur I'm genuinely puzzled by his continued inclusion. 4 managers have had Xhaka as first choice CM. What exactly do they see in him?

No one on he bench can play there, maybe ceballos but he's hit or miss

Been saying it for ages. Xhaka is an articulate chap and has a big personality in the dressing room. Weak managers are always too scared of confronting union leaders.

We really ought to smash this lot out of sight. Opportune time for Auba's first league hattrick.

Early goal needed.

TEAM NEWS REMINDER

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Willian, Xhaka, Elneny, Saka, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Jay Rodriguez, Westwood, Brownhill, Brady, Wood, Rodriguez.

I think we will labour to a victory here but that line up is far from inspiring to me.

The likes of AMN and Willock must be wondering what they need to do to get a run in this team.

A win only moves us one position. Shows how bad its been.

Come on Arteta show us some tactical acumen.

We might get some shots on target then as we would attack more and that's not how arteta likes his football

Thats one of the reasons why its dried up. He has been the main man ever since he came to arsenal. its for others to step up and Auba will start scoring again.

'Arteta needs a good performance'
Arsenal v Burnley (19:15 GMT)

Mark Lawrenson
BBC football expert
The problems seem to be stacking up for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta at the moment.

The more games his side lose, and the longer they continue to struggle to create chances, the more people are going to ask why Mesut Ozil is not in the Gunners team - he will be eligible to play in the Premier League again in January.

Since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signed his new contract, his form has been indifferent, although you could say that he has been stuck out on the left wing rather than playing as a centre-forward so what are people expecting from him?

I would still back Arsenal to beat Burnley, but what Arteta really needs is a good performance from his team too. Some of them are coasting at the moment and they are not earning their corn.

That is not something you could ever accuse any Burnley players of. They are in the bottom three at the moment but I am expecting them to gradually climb away from trouble, partly because of their willingness to scrap.

Prediction: 2-0

Bellerin looks nervous already and Tieney what was the fuss he looks lost these days maybe he needs Martinelli back to perform.

whatever happens, arteta has to persist with laca behind auba.
