No Xhaka or Partey? How Arsenal could line up against Burnley

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be without a number of key players for his side's test against Burnley in the Premier League

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be desperate to see his side get back to winning ways after a frustrating defeat to Liverpool in the English League Cup on Thursday.

However, the London club will likely have to shuffle their pack to put out a strong starting XI if they are to get the best of a stubborn Burnley team at the Emirates on Sunday.

Where Arsenal will remain consistent and unchanged is in defender, where Aaron Ramsdale will keep his spot between the posts and a back four of Kieran Tierney, Gabriel, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu will offer some stability.

However, it’s in midfield that Arteta will find himself scratching his head. Both Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey are out through red card suspensions and Mohamed Elneny is still at the African Cup of Nations.

That will likely mean another start for the relatively inexperienced Albert Sambi Lokonga, alongside Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe in the centre of the pitch.

Similarly, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang still out injured and Nicolas Pepe still on international duty, Arteta will likely go with a front three of Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Alexandre Lacazette.
