“The gunner's margin of error is small.”Published at 09:31
Burnley vs Arsenal (Saturday, 15:00 GMT)
image source, bbc sportsI'm at Turf Moor for this game and I don't think it's as simple for Arsenal as some people think.
It may sound silly, but I was very impressed with Burnley when I watched their loss to Liverpool. They started well, they were well organized, they created chances, they created big chances… they couldn't convert them.
In the end, they paid the price for a few individual errors, but it gets even bigger when errors happen in such a close game. We can't afford to pay more if we want to stay in the Premier League.
Also, as I said in my joint commentary at Anfield, the Clarets are not in a position to pinpoint a particular game as winnable. They have won three league games all season and need at least three more to stay out of the relegation zone, so they need to approach every game, including this one, as a 'must win'. be.
We understand that it is important for our opponents Arsenal as well. The Gunners dominated West Ham last week but, like Liverpool, their title hopes depend on the slightest margin of error, so they need to stay focused here.
Mikel Arteta's side may look like the easiest of the squad this time around, having just defeated Liverpool and West Ham. However, despite four successive wins, including against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, this game remains a dangerous one as Burnley are out for their lives.
But I think Arsenal will win. The Gunners got off to a strong start last season, but their form slumped. I think it's safe to say that their early performances this season haven't been quite as breathtaking or exhilarating, but maybe this time it's time for them to move on. not. If possible, that's probably the better way.
Here are Sutton's predictions: 1-2
