Hello and welcome to live coverage of Burnley v Arsenal.

Brady clips in a cross which is headed away by Mustafi at the back post. Gudmundsson sends in another cross, this from the right wing, and Koscielny has it covered as it drifts away from Barnes.

Ramsey blocks of Gudmundsson's run across the pitch, and it's a free kick for Burnley from about 30 yards out, centrally placed.

Sanchez floats in a pass over the top of the defence, but it's a tad too much for Iwobi to latch onto.

Barnes bundles the ball forward for Henrick, but as he swings a leg at the ball to shoot wide, he's flagged offside.

The match gets underway.

I'm going to predict a 3-0 win for Arsenal, and a 20 seat majority for Corbyn at the next election.

Arsenal can move into fourth if they get one over on Arsena, but Burnley will also get the same deal if they are able to beat Arsenal. A draw brings them both level with Liverpool in fifth, but behind on goal difference. Who says statistics has to be depressing!

Most interesting, though, is that Mesut Ozil misses with an illness. We may as well take that at face value, but Wenger has spent the week denying that Ozil has already agreed a deal to join Barcelona in the near future. So maybe there are games afoot.

Wenger's Arsenal are going to be a little tired. At least, those who featured in the Europa League on Thursday will. Arsenal are fresh from a win against Spurs in the North London Derby, and will have their tails up, and with Alexis in attack, they should be confident.

Arsene Wenger has taken his head of the sand to say this: "Against Burnley, that will be different. They are a team who maybe play a bit deeper than Tottenham because they have a strong defensive efficiency. You have to keep your nerve, even if you have the ball, to be calm and accurate. You have to be defensively strong as well because they are very efficient going forward."

Sean Dyche has growled into a microphone: "The name of the game is to win, and if you ask Burnley fans if they enjoy what we’re doing, I’d imagine they would say yes. The word pragmatic comes out – in other walks of life, ‘pragmatic’ would be a golden word – people who get things done, build things, and move things forward. In football it’s not quite like that. But we’ve had to be pragmatic in the early days of being here to build all of this, and now we’re trying to just mould it a little bit more."
