After winning back-to-back matches, Burnley have drawn level on points with Arsenal.

The Gunners have managed one win in six so far under Mikel Arteta, but are unbeaten in four matches.

Burnley's new signing Josh Brownhill is available for Sunday's contest, while Phil Bardsley (back) is fit again.

But Ashley Barnes (groin) and Johann Berg Gudmondsson (hamstring) are ruled out.

Arsenal's top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is back after serving a three-match suspension.

David Luiz also returns from a ban but Shkodran Mustafi (ankle) is a doubt and Sead Kolasinac (ankle) faces a late fitness test.

Reiss Nelson (hamstring) is out as are long-term absentees Calum Chambers (ACL) and Kieran Tierney (shoulder).
