🚨 Burnley may be relegated, but their results against the “Big Six” in 2026 show they are far from an easy game.
They have already taken points off some of the biggest teams in the league this year…drawing 2-2 with Manchester United, holding Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield, drawing 2-2 with Tottenham, and earning another 1-1 draw away at Chelsea. Even Manchester City only managed a narrow 1-0 victory against them.
That record should be a serious warning sign for Arsenal ahead of Monday’s clash. Burnley have proven that they can frustrate elite teams by sitting deep, defending with intensity, and waiting for counter-attacking opportunities or set pieces.
They may not dominate possession, but they know how to make games difficult and uncomfortable for top sides.
For Arsenal, this is not a fixture they can afford to underestimate. With the Premier League title race still alive, every point matters, and one slip-up could completely change the direction of the season. Burnley have already shown this year that they are capable of causing problems for clubs chasing trophies.
Mikel Arteta’s side will need patience, concentration, and clinical finishing. If Arsenal start slowly or waste chances, Burnley will grow in confidence and the pressure inside the stadium will increase. Matches like this are often decided by small moments, and Arsenal cannot allow complacency to creep in.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United have all struggled against Burnley in 2026. Arsenal now have to make sure they do not become the next big team to drop points against them.❤️💯
