Arsenal look to extend stay at top

Arsenal will look to extend their remarkable run of form when they travel to Burnley on Saturday.

The Gunners have been in impressive form, becoming the first English top-flight team to play at least six times in a month without conceding a goal.

Their flawless October included Premier League wins over West Ham United, Fulham, and Crystal Palace, alongside triumphs against Olympiacos and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, and a League Cup win against Brighton.

Mikel Arteta's men currently sit atop the Premier League standings with 22 points from nine matches, four clear of second-placed Bournemouth.

"Yes (keep the foot on the gas) and maintain the level of urgency," Arteta said. "The concentration, the focus, the ambition we are showing in every game, and every game brings different challenges.

"Sometimes we have to be very patient and some of the time we have to have a different approach.

"The game against Burnley is going to be really tough. They are extremely well coached and Scott (Parker) has done really well with the club."

In-form Brazil international Gabriel Martinelli and centre-back William Saliba are out for the trip to Burnley. Martinelli limped off the pitch following Arsenal's 1-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, while Frenchman Saliba was substituted at halftime at the Emirates. Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke also remain sidelined.
