Arsenal’s lack of goals is, in Mikel Arteta’s own words, “not sustainable”. If Burnley bring the abject defence that conceded five at Manchester City then perhaps the Gunners will be able to play themselves back into form, although before that Sean Dyche’s side had kept consecutive clean sheets on the road. Eddie Nketiah showed great hunger and composure in scoring against Dundalk on Thursday and could be handed a first top-flight start in two months as Arteta seeks a spark from somewhere. Nick Ames
