What has been Arsenal and Burnley's form ahead of this match?
Arsenal ended an impressive 22-game streak without a loss coming to an end last week. Now, Unai Emery's men have lost two games in a row for the first time since August, and a win here will surely lift their spirits ahead of Boxing Day.
Burnley has been quite a disappointment for the entire season, racking up 11 losses in their seventeen league games. As of now, Sean Dyche's men enter this game having lost four out of their last five games, includings last week's defeat against Tottenham.
What is the current position of Arsenal and Burnley in the English Premier League?

Burnley has not been in their best form this season, since they have only earned points in six of their seventeen fixtures. As of now, Burnley is ranked 18th in the English top flight, with only 12 points to their name.
