Clarets v Gunners Match Preview.

[army88]

Arsenal were so dominant against West Ham that Arteta could start resting half his team from midway in the second half. We are up against it here. We should have scored more at Anfield and I hope we can score a couple of goals at home v the Gunners. Unfortunately we are likely to concede more at our end. Trafford is a good shot stopper but we have such defensive frailty against corners, free kicks etc that Arsenal especially Declan Rice will surely exploit this weakness as so many others have already done.

Rice is pound for pound the best defensive midfielder I’ve seen outwood.

He reads the game brilliantly and positions himself with absolute class - after all that he can play a bit as well.

Excited to see him live tbh - tv is one thing but live is something special.

I rate him very highly but don't think he's in the same class as Stevie G.

Poor man's John Deary, put Jack Cork on him, he'd keep him quiet.
