Mikel Arteta confirms Arsenal trio are out of Burnley clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed three absentees for tomorrow's Premier League clash against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners ended a two-match winless streak in midweek by beating Sevilla 2-0 in the group stage of the Champions League campaign.

They will be aiming for another victory against the Clarets in the Premier League. Ahead of the game, Arteta has confirmed few absentees.

The Spaniard confirmed that Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe are ruled out of the top-flight fixture alongside Jurrien Timber.

However, he added that there could be more absentees for the game depending on how they recover over the next 24 hours.

Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu are currently doubtful for the league fixture.

Arsenal host Burnley in the afternoon kick-off. A resounding win with six clear goals can temporarily take them to the top of the table if Tottenham fail to win.

The Gunners should be firm favourites to beat the Clarets and anything less than a victory tomorrow would lead to plenty of criticism.
