Fourth consecutive time of asking to not lose at home for the Arsenal.
Wolves 1-2
Villa 0-3
Leicester 0-1
Burnley present themselves unchanged from the one-all with Everton last week.
Lacazette, Abeumeyang in.
The book says a home banker with Arteta at 2/5 the win, Dyche out at 7s.
Meanwhile, can Brighton pull off a stunt up in Leicester to complete a stingy haul of points for the - post-weekend - top four?

I think I tipped Burnley for the win.

I’m actually watching a recording of The Arsenal Stadium Mystery at the moment.

I’m actually watching a recording of The Arsenal Stadium Mystery at the moment. Yes, it's a decent film, that. The days when most spectators' clobber would not be out of place at a wedding. But meanwhile Rob Holding's head sends one over from inside the box, wasted. Burnley have come closest to scoring with Wood fluffing a golden opportunity a while ago from close-range.

Yeah, I’ve seen it before and it is pretty good. Leslie Banks is great.

I think I tipped Burnley for the win. No, you're on a draw. Joint leader as it stands, not bad after you missed the first game through lateness.

There's a bit of a set-to between players after Tierney was felled by the arm of an Arsenal player.
Play continues, Arsenal 1 shot OT, Burnley none.

Graham Scott has blown up in the centre of the pitch.
We're at the wrong game. In Leicester it's 3-0 to the Foxes with Maddison potting a brace and Vardy the other.
It's 0-0 here. It was always gonna be 0-0 here. I'm not sure I'm up for another 45 minutes of this.

Xhaka has been sent off for molesting Westwood. Hands. Throat. He's off with half an hour left to play.

It came after a tackle between Xhaka and McNeil caused a bit of a melee which saw the Arsenal man go for Westwood's throat in a moment of madness. It was originally a yellow for Xhaka but after consulting his monitor, ref Scott upgraded the culprit to red class.

It just gets worse for the Arsenal. Knowing that Burnley have scored just 5 times this season, a helping hand is offered. The Burnley corner came in courtesy of Westwood and was touched in by the head of Aubemeyang, Leno no chance with a quarter-hour of play remaining.

Is there any fuel left in the tank for Arsenal here? A point would be unsatisfactory but none would be...well... but wait, here's Saka with minutes left on the clock. He tries one on goal - nothing doing as Tarkowski headbutts it away.

5 minutes of added coming up. Arsenal in a frenzy to grab an equalizer.

They're pushing, they're pushing. But no, it's all over. Burnley climb out of the bottom three, replaced by Fulham who will be regretting even more that Liverpool penalty. Arsenal stay 15th, five points clear of the drop zone.

Feckin' cursed. Just played probably the most progressive 15 minutes of the season in the PL and have Burnley looking shaky and Xhaka goes and does that. FFS! It's like they are trying to lose. Teams literally have just to set up to stay in the game and this team seems to find a way to win it for them. It's baffling as fuck. I don't think I've seen an Arsenal team, in my 37 years as a supporter, looking this devoid of both confidence and ideas for this long a period. Even under Emery they at least scored the odd goal. I am at a loss. And to make matters worse the fuckin' Spuds are flying. This could turn out to be my worst experience as a supporter. Christ!
