Burnley v Arsenal

We pulled out Norwich v Preston and Portsmouth v Plymouth as "Under 2.5 Goals" games on Saturday, and we go in search of a hat-trick as Burnley take on Arsenal.

Burnley continue without the injured Tom Heaton, but it's not exactly harmed their campaign so far with Nick Pope performing superbly. He's kept three consecutive clean sheets, and has seven shut-outs in 11 matches for the Clarets this season.

Overall, 11 of Burnley's 14 matches this season have seen fewer than three goals, while it's six out of seven at Turf Moor and six of their last seven in all competitions home and away.

Goals have been slightly more plentiful at Arsenal, but only one player has passed the three goals mark so far (Lacazette on 6) so they are still someway short of firing on all cylinders.

The most important indicator for us however ahead of this match is Burnley's record against the big sides at Turf Moor under Sean Dyche. Last season only the 2-1 defeat to Man City saw a game against the Big 6 go Over 2.5 Goals (2-0 v Liverpool, 0-1 v Arsenal, 1-1 v Chelsea, 0-2 v Spurs, 0-2 v Man Utd).

Less relevant perhaps, but in 2014/15, a similar set-up saw Burnley keep five of the six games against the elite under 2.5 as well.
