Burnley managed to win three consecutive victories, without suffering any goal during that period, but saw that sequence be interrupted on the last day, when he received Arsenal at home and was defeated, in a match in which he was far inferior to the opponent , with less than half of the chances of his opponent’s goal and with 36% possession of the ball. However, despite the defeat in his stadium, he had a good performance at defensive level, which has been a habit throughout the competition, so he currently has one of the four best defenses. One of the weak points of the team has been the lack of quality in the passes, which ends up being reflected in the possession of the ball, having the second worst average of the championship in that aspect of the game. As a visitor, he has the fifth best season, having not suffered goals in two of the last three matches in this condition. The coach must use the 4-4-1-1 tactical scheme for this match, with Cork standing out in the center of the field.
