How Arsenal could line up against Burnley with Partey starting and Ramsdale giving Arteta selection dilemma

MIKEL ARTETA could make just one change from the side that beat Norwich when Arsenal face Burnley on Saturday.

The Gunners earned their first points of the season at the Emirates last week after beating the Canaries 1-0 thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s second half strike.

This is how Arsenal could line-up against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday

And Arteta yet again has a near full-strength to choose from, with only Granit Xhaka [suspended], Rob Holding [knee] and Mohamed Elneny [hamstring] all out.

Thomas Partey could make his first start of the season after he came off the bench against Daniel Farke’s men.

Here SunSport takes a look at how Arsenal could line-up against the Clarets at Turf Moor.

Aaron Ramsdale will reportedly keep his place between the sticks after starting ahead of Bernd Leno last time out.

German media have claimed that Leno will be on the bench this weekend, before returning to the team for the North London derby later this month.

Arteta is likely to keep the same back four that kept a clean sheet against Norwich.

Japan international Takehiro Tomiyasu impressed on his debut and he should keep his place at right-back, with Kieran Tierney featuring on the opposite side.

And Ben White will almost certainly partner Brazilian centre-back Gabriel in the heart of defence.

Should Partey be named in the starting XI, he could pair up with Albert Sambi Lokonga in the middle of the pitch.

This would see Ainsley Maitland-Niles drop to the bench following his underwhelming performance against Norwich.

Bukayo Saka is likely to once again start on the left flank, with Ivorian winger Bukayo Saka to be deployed down the right.

Martin Odegaard could start ahead of Emile Smith Rowe in the No10 position, with skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tasked with leading the line.

Aubameyang boasts an impressive record against Sean Dyche’s side having scored eight goals in seven matches.

This is another way of how the Gunners could start against the Clarets
