Burnley have the lowest average possession and passing accuracy of all the teams in the top half of the Premier League at 43.6% and 71.8% respectively. They fare better when the ball is in the air though, as they win an average of 23.3 aerial duels per Premier League match.
Since his Premier League debut in September 2013, Mesut Ozil has provided 45 assists, more than any other player in the competition and 21 more than any other Arsenal player in that time.
Every Premier League goal that Shkodran Mustafi has scored has been assisted by Mesut Ozil – three in total.
Arsenal currently have the third highest average possession and passing accuracy in the Premier League at 57.2% and 83.3% respectively.
Arsenal have had 198 efforts on goal this season and require an average of nine shots before they score in this division.
Arsenal have conceded at least two goals in their last three away Premier League matches.
Arsenal have a perfect record at home this season in the Premier League, but they have only picked up four points from a possible 18 on the road. 13 teams have a better away record at present.
MEMORABLE MEETING
Burnley do not do well when paired with Arsenal, with the only positive result they have achieved in recent history being their clash back in December 2009 when they managed to earn a draw at Turf Moor thanks to Graham Alexander’s penalty.
