Arsenal host Sean Dyche’s Burnley on Sunday (2.15pm kick-off) hoping to consolidate a place in the Premier League’s top four.

Arsene Wenger’s men returned to the Champions League places following a 4-0 victory at Swansea last weekend, coupled with Manchester City’s 4-0 drubbing at Everton the following day.

Goals from Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez, as well as own goals from Jack Cork and Kyle Naughton, secured an emphatic win for the Gunners, although they still remain eight points behind league leaders Chelsea after their win at Leicester.

Nonetheless, Wenger’s men have a chance to put pressure on Antonio Conte’s men when they host Burnley on Sunday, although it won’t be easy against Sean Dyche’s men, who have done brilliantly in the top-flight so far.

The Clarets have won eight of their 21 league matches and sit tenth in the division, although all but one of their points have come at Turf Moor, meaning that they have the worst away record of any side in the top-flight.

Thus, Arsenal will be feeling confident ahead of Sunday’s encounter, although Wenger may make a few changes to his starting eleven at the Emirates.

So, here are THREE Arsenal players who deserve a chance against Burnley on Sunday…

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Wenger may have to change things against Burnley should Olivier Giroud’s hamstring problem rule him out, so Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be in line for his ninth Premier League start of the season.

The England international is embarking on his best goal-scoring campaign since moving to the Emirates back in 2011, with his tally of six goals two better than his previous best, which was his first season in North London five years ago.

Nonetheless, the 23-year-old is still finding first team opportunities hard to come by, but if Giroud is not fit enough to play, then Wenger will likely move Alexis Sanchez into the forward role, freeing up a position in the midfield.

That position could be occupied by Oxlade-Chamberlain against the Clarets.

Lucas Perez

Lucas Perez was one of Arsenal’s best players over the festive period, and could be in line for a recall against Burnley on Sunday.

The Spaniard scored his first Premier League goal in the 3-3 draw at Bournemouth on January 3, before producing an excellent display in the Gunners’ 2-1 victory over Preston in the third round of the FA Cup four days later.

Nonetheless, the 28-year-old lost his place against Swansea, but Wenger may shuffle things around against Burnley, especially with three games in seven days the following week.

Thus, Perez deserves a chance against Dyche’s men on Sunday.

Danny Welbeck

Olivier Giroud’s injury troubles could see Danny Welbeck return to the Arsenal side for his first Premier League start since May.

The 26-year-old suffered a knee injury in the Gunners’ 2-2 draw with Manchester City at the rear end of last season, and has since been consigned to the sidelines, meaning he missed Euro 2016 with England.

Nonetheless, the forward has returned to the set-up in recent weeks with substitute appearances against Preston and Swansea, and could make his first start of the campaign against Burnley should Wenger decide against moving Alexis Sanchez into the more advanced role.

Regardless, Welbeck will probably play some part against the Clarets this weekend in a bid to improve his match fitness.
