Arsenal's next five Premier League fixtures compared to Liverpool and Man City
Arsenal have a mixed bag of Premier League fixtures on the horizon after a comfortable victory over struggling Burnley.
The Gunners hit the front from the first whistle thanks to Martin Odegaard's curling effort. Less than five minutes before the interval the advantage was doubled as Bukayo Saka converted from the penalty spot.
Saka added a third shortly after the break as he fired a right-foot effort beyond James Trafford. Leandro Trossard added another to the rout with less than half an hour remaining with a curling effort of his own before Kai Havertz added a fifth.
Mikel Arteta's men needed the victory at Turf Moor after witnessing Liverpool make light work of Brentford in the early kick-off.
However, it was not all good news for Jurgen Klopp's side as injury concerns surround Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones. Following the clash in Lancashire, football.london has analysed Arsenal's next five matches compared to their title rivals.
