Mikel Arteta and his troops will be eyeing to bounce back from simultaneous defeats at the hands of his Premier League Counterparts Westham United and Newcastle United football Clubs.
Sitting easy and cosy at the summit of their Champions League Group B after guiding Sevilla to a defeat at Emirates Stadium; the esprit de corps in the Camp is on another level.
This Saturday; the animated, invigorated and revived Gunners welcome a struggling Burnley in their Premier League encounter.
Going into this game; Mikel Arteta has a series of injury problems to worry of. The long term absentees in the nursing room consists of Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber who underwent the knife.
Martin Odegaard, Edu Nketiah, Smith Rowe are all undergoing treatment though their return dates are still in limbo.
Its touted that Gabi Jesus could be fit sooner as he's been added on the Selecao Squad list to be involved in the International break action after this weekend's clashes.
Bukayo Saka and Tomiyasu's slight knocks in their last game exit against Sevilla are being assessed whether they will make matchday squads against the Clarets on Saturday.
On the hand; Manager Vincent Kompany's Burnley will be out to stage a return to winning ways after slumping to defeats in their last five games. The results from their last two encounters all resulted in defeats as Crystal Palace thrashed them two goals to nil followed by three goals to nil humbling from Everton.
The only win to Vincent Kompany's name was against Luton Town where Lyle Foster and Jacob Bruun Larsen netted a goal each to warrant the Clarets first win of the season.
Burnley however; comfortably at the rock bottom of the table, will be without their gem-Lyle Foster; sidelined indefinitely due to a recurrence of mental health issue.
Lyle Foster has managed to net three goals for the Clarets in his last eight appearances.
Mikel Arteta's tactical awareness in assessment of the opponent might drive him to start a secret weapon in the Centre forward role who is currently on a goal drought for being played out wide.
With Jesus and Eddie injured; Mikel is poised to employ the services of fast-paced and skillful Gabriel Martinelli in the centre forwad role whose ability to score in closed spaces has been tried, tested and proven.
Leandro Trossard could then be deployed to his preferred position on the flank where he can cut in as Zinny or Tomiyasu overlaps with the ball.
The pundits tips Arsenal to win this game;
Goals scored will be Over 2.5.
Is Martinelli the right player to be deployed upfront?
