Arteta’s Arsenal are currently in a run of seven matches in 22 days and will face Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday as they bid to extend their four-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Arsenal are set for a collision course with Crystal Palace after manager Mikel Arteta claimed it would not be "fair" if the Carabao Cup quarter-final between the two sides is moved.
