Arsenal’s dream spine come February

Arsenal left it late to beat Burnley 2-1 on Sunday to move up to second in the Premier League table.

Arsene Wenger’s side looked set to drop points to Sean Dyche’s men when Andre Gray slotted home an added time penalty, but Alexis Sanchez’s 15th league goal of the campaign, also from the spot, in the 98th minute secured a dramatic victory for the Gunners.

It means that Wenger’s men leapfrogged Tottenham and Liverpool into second place in the division, although they remain eight points behind league leaders Chelsea after they got the better of struggling Hull 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Victory was Arsenal’s 14th of the campaign, and they’ll go into their FA Cup fourth round clash at Southampton on Saturday confident of advancing to the last 16.

However, many still feel that Wenger needs more reinforcements this month in order to keep his side competitive on all fronts this season, so he may dip into the winter window over the coming days to secure a few key signings.

Thus, here is what their dream spine could look like this time next week…
