Arsenal XI vs Burnley: Saka in - Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Arsenal have been boosted by Bukayo Saka's availability as the Gunners star starts against Burnley this afternoon.

Saka limped off after landing awkwardly late in the win over Sevilla in midweek and was a doubt to face the Clarets as a result, but he has recovered in time to start from the off.

Mikel Arteta remains without a number of first-team players against the Clarets. Emile Smith Rowe (knee), Jurrien Timber (knee) and Thomas Partey (thigh) are all out, while Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard remain unavailable. Eddie Nketiah is only fit enough for the bench.

Odegaard has missed the last two games and has not win his race against time to be fit for the weekend.

Jesus has been out since October 24, although he has been called up by Brazil for qualifiers later this month. Nketiah missed Wednesday’s win over Sevilla.

With Jesus out and Nketiah not at full fitness, Mikel Arteta turns to Leandro Trossard to lead the line again. He did so against Sevilla on Wednesday and scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is pushing to come in at left-back and gets his wish as Tomiyasu starts at right, having recovered from a knock. Ben White misses out on the squad.

Arsenal XI: Raya; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Havertz, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli

Subs: Ramsdale, Kiwior, Walters, Elneny, Ibrahim, Nelson, Vieira, Sagoe Jr, Nketiah
