90'+6'

That's all for today, goodbye!

90'+6'

Burnley move out of the relegation zone and into 17th with that win, now just four points behind today's opponents. Next up for them is a trip to Aston Villa on Thursday. As for Arsenal, they stay in 15th and have now failed to score in six of their last eight league games. Their attention now turns to their match against Southampton on Wednesday.

90'+6'

Burnley seal a 1-0 win over 10-man Arsenal. The hosts had the better chances in the first half, but they couldn't find a way past Burnley. Xhaka was then sent off for Arsenal in the 58th minute for violent conduct after a VAR review. It was an own-goal by Aubameyang that sealed the points for Burnley as he flicked Westwood's free-kick into the back of his own net.

90'+6'

FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 0-1 BURNLEY.

90'+6'

Leno comes up for the corner as Arsenal try to find a last-minute goal and it's a good cross into the box. It's Holding that heads it towards the near post but Brownhill is there to clear it away.

90'+4'

Arsenal have a free-kick and it's curled into the box by Saka and punched away by Pope. Arsenal keep hold of the ball though and Ceballos puts it back into the box. Nketiah meets it at the far post, but his header is straight at Pope.

90'+2'

Saka touches the ball onto Holding on the edge of the box and he drills a shot towards goal. It ends up hitting Nketiah in the middle of the box though and Pope comes out to collect it.

90'

Elneny loses the ball and Westwood picks out Barnes on the left of the box with a good throughball. He squares it to Vydra, but he scuffs his shot and it's an easy one for Leno at the near post.

88'

It's all going through Saka for Arsenal at the moment as he picks out Aubameyang with a floated cross to the far post. He cuts inside but he slips as he tries to get the shot away and Tarkowski clears his lines.

86'

GOOD CHANCE! It's another good move by Saka as he wrongfoots Taylor and cuts inside from the right. He curls a shot towards the far post from a tight angle inside the box and Tarkowski makes a good block and heads it over.

84'

Saka does really well to hold off Taylor and turn away from the defender to swing a cross into the box. There's nobody running onto it for Arsenal though and Pope comes off his line to collect it.

82'

Final roll of the dice by Arteta now as he brings on Nketiah to replace Willian.

80'

Arsenal are struggling to get on the ball at the moment as Burnley continue to push forward in search of a second goal. Taylor finds room to run into down the left, but Holding is at the near post to clear it for Arsenal again.

78'

Taylor is pushing forward down the left again and Maitland-Niles just can't get back to him. He swings a dangerous-looking cross towards the near post and Holding gets there just ahead of Vydra to put it out for a corner.

76'

Lowton wrongfoots Tierney and whips a great cross into the middle of the box. He's looking for Barnes but Holding gets across him just in time to make an important block and take it away from him.

74'

Second change for Arsenal now and Bellerin is coming off for Maitland-Niles.

73'

BURNLEY LEAD! The free-kick is swung into the box from Westwood on the left and Brownhill peels away to the near post. It's over his head though and Aubameyang ends up flicking it into the back of his own net. 1-0 Burnley!

73'

The referee doesn't go over to the monitor to look at this one and it's only a yellow card for Elneny.

71'

Bellerin slides in on Lowton and completely misses the ball before he takes out the player so he's shown a yellow card.

70'

Second change for Burnley now and it's Wood that's making way for Vydra.

69'

GOOD SAVE! Aubameyang gets between the two central defenders and drifts to the left of the box. Pope came rushing off his line so the forward takes the shot early but Pope manages to push it away on the stretch. It wouldn't have counted anyway though as the flag goes up.

67'

SAVE! Westwood cuts the low cross back to the edge of the box and it looks like the chance is gone after it rolls past McNeil, but Mee runs onto it. He takes a touch before drilling his shot on goal, but it's straight at Leno who holds onto it.

66'

Westwood links up well with Brady down the right to open up some space for the cross. He curls it into the middle, but Gabriel gets to it just ahead of Barnes to clear his lines.

64'

Arsenal have received six red cards since Arteta took over Arsenal, double that of any other side in this time.

62'

Burnley are seeing more of the ball now and Arsenal just can't get close to them. It's better from the visitors as they're moving upfield quicker and trying to use their man advantage.

60'

There's a change for Arsenal now following the sending off and Arteta is bringing on Ceballos for Lacazette.

59'

Burnley are making the first change of the game before they take the free-kick and Barnes is coming on for Rodriguez.

56'

Xhaka stepped across McNeil and caught him with a late challenge to stop the run. There was a coming together between the players afterwards as McNeil clearly wasn't happy and the VAR is having a look at this to see if there should be a sending-off...

56'

ARSENAL DOWN TO 10! Xhaka was originally shown a yellow card for the tackle on McNeil, but after that, the replays showed him grabbing Westwood by the neck. VAR had a look at the incident, and after going over to the monitor, Graham Scott upgrades the yellow to a straight red for violent conduct.

54'

Bellerin cuts inside from the right and picks out Aubameyang in a pocket of space just outside the box. He sets himself before hitting a hot on goal, but Tarkowski makes a good block to send it out for a corner.

52'

GOOD SAVE! Willian pulls away from Mee and he cuts his low cross back for Saka in the middle of the box. He hits the shot first time, and Pope parries it away at his near post.

51'

Arsenal are finding a bit more space now and Bellerun pushes forward down the right. He curls a good cross into the middle, but Aubameyang's header is straight at Pope.

50'

SAVE! Nobody picks up Aubameyang's run down the left and he squares it to Tierney, just inside the box. He takes a touch before hitting his shot towards the near-bottom corner, but Pope gets down and holds onto it.

45'+2'

Arsenal need to be much more clinical in the second half - they've got into some good positions, but without causing Burnley any trouble and they need to be much better if they want to get the win. As for Burnley, Dyche will be pleased with their performance so far but will want to see them get forward more after the break.

48'

Leno's clearance is given straight to Lowton on the edge of his own box and he tries to pick out Wood's run straight away with a long ball over the top. There's too much on it though and he can't keep it in play.

45'+2'

It's goalless at the break between Arsenal and Burnley. The home side created more chances, but only tested Pope once when Lacazette's first-time shot was stopped by the keeper on the stretch. Holding send a header just over the bar from close range, while Wood headed Rodriguez's floating cross just wide of the far post.

45'+2'

HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 0-0 BURNLEY.

46'

Arsenal get us back underway for the second half!

45'

Arsenal are looking to make something happen down the left this time and Tierney and Saka are linking up well. The left-back swings a cross to the far post, towards Aubameyang, but it's cleared by Taylor.

43'

Willian swings another corner into the box and Gabriel rises to meet it at the far post. He ends up jumping into Tarkowski and sending the defender to ground as he sends his header wide.

41'

It's another good move by Arsenal to move it upfield with Willian being played in on the right. In the end, they end up overplaying it though as he puts a throughball into Saka instead of crossing it and he was offside.

39'

Lacazette brings down Westwood and gives away a free-kick on the right. Westwood swings a cross into the middle for Burnley, but can't pick out a team-mate and Leno comes off his line to collect it.

37'

Burnley just can't get on the ball at the moment as Arsenal continue to dominate possession. It's all in front of the visitors though as Arsenal are happy to just keep it in their own half for now.

35'

Arsenal switch play out to Tierney on the left, but Burnley have dropped deep in their own box and there's isn't much space to pick out a team-mate. He plays it back to Saka, but his first touch is poor and he gifts it to Brownhill.

34'

Brady picks up the first yellow card of the game for dissent.

32'

McNeil swings a deep cross into the box from the free-kick on the halfway line and Tarkowski rises to head it. Tierney goes down and Arsenal are asking for a free-kick which isn't given, but the offside flag went up against Brady when he got on the ball.

30'

Willian gets away from Taylor on the right again and he swings another good cross into the far post. Gabriel rises highest to meet it but flicks his header wide of the target.

28'

GOOD SAVE! It comes through to Saka at the byline on the left of the box and he puts a low cross back into the middle. He picks out Lacazette in the middle, but his first-time shot is blocked by Pope on the stretch.

27'

The fans are starting to voice their frustration now as Leno holds onto the ball while he waits for some movement ahead of him. Burnley are still closing them down high upfield and Arsenal are struggling to get out.

25'

Arsenal win a free-kick on the right wing and it's Willian standing over it. He swings a deep cross into the box towards the far post, but can't pick out a team-mate and Tarkowski clears it for Burnley.

23'

Burnley win it back and McNeil makes a driving run inside from the left as they break quickly. He floats a cross to the far post, but Wood doesn't continue his run and it bounces out of play.

21'

CLOSE! Arsenal's corner is cleared but they keep hold of the ball. They work it out to Saka on the left side and he floats a good cross into the middle. Holding rises to meet it, but his header loops just over the bar.

20'

Tierney is looking to pick out Saka's run down the left with another long ball over the top, but there's a bit too much on the pass. Pope comes rushing out of his box and hits his clearance high into the stands.

18'

Saka squares the ball to Bellerin just outside the box and a pocket of space opens up for him. He drills his shot towards goal after setting himself and Brownhill gets back quickly to block the effort.

16'

Burnley have lost all six of their away Premier League games against Arsenal, their worst 100 per cent losing record away at a single side in the competition.

14'

CLOSE! It's Burnley's first real attack and Rodriguez lays it off to Burnley on the right. He swings a great cross into the box and Wood meets it in the middle, but his header bounces off his shoulder and just wide of the far post.

12'

BLOCKED! It's a good cross into the middle from Aubameyang and Willian cushions his header to Lacazette. He goes to hit the shot on the volley but completely misses it and sees his second attempt blocked by Mee. It then bounced to Saka, but he's blocked by Tarkowski.

10'

Aubameyang cuts across Tarkowski to get to the right and get on the ball, but Mee is also getting back for Burnley. He nudges the forward off it but hits his clearance against Tarkowski to give away a corner, but it comes to nothing.

8'

Willian pulls away from Taylor on the right and he swings a cross into the six-yard box. Nobody has made a run to the near post though and it's an easy one for Pope to come and collect.

6'

It's still Arsenal that are seeing more of the ball, but as soon as they get out of their own half, they're either giving it away with sloppy passes or going back to their defence as they can't find a way through.

4'

It's a good ball over the top from Tierney to pick out Aubameyang's run down the left. It looks like he was offside, but the flag didn't go up, and he lays it off to Saka. His first touch is heavy though and Tarkowski intercepts it.

2'

Arsenal are seeing a lot of the ball in the opening couple of minutes, but all of their possession is in their own half. They're patiently playing out from the back, but Burnley are closing them down high upfield.
