Hello and welcome to football.london's coverage of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Burnley at Turf Moor.
The Gunners head to the north west in fine form having won their last four matches, scoring 16 goals in the process. The most recent of these victories was a 6-0 battering of West Ham last Sunday that drew them within touching distance of Manchester City and Liverpool's goal difference.
No Arsenal side has ever won their first five games of a calendar year, but Arteta will be hoping that his side can break a new record after securing their largest ever Premier League away win last weekend.
The Gunners will be heavy favourites to do just that against Vincent Kompany's side. The Clarets have not won in their last seven matches and are only off the bottom of the table courtesy of goal difference.
Our chief Arsenal correspondent Kaya Kaynak will bring all the build-up, match commentary and reaction from Turf Moor in our live blog below.

Time to hear from Mikel Arteta after Arsenal's 5-0 win over Burnley.

Player ratings
Is there a more in form player in the Premier League than Martin Odegaard right now? Probably only Bukayo Saka can hold a candle to how well he's playing at the minute. They're standouts but special mentions for Kiwior and Havertz.

FULL TIME! BURNLEY 0-5 ARSENAL!
Arsenal are up to second in emphatic style!
That's now 21 goals in five games for the Gunners. Those goalscoring worries from before the winter break seem a distant memory.
Arsenal and Odegaard and Saka in particular are hitting form at just the right time. Mikel Arteta will be delighted.
Added time
It has just been announced that there will be 10 minutes added time here at Turf Moor.
It's been greeted with boos by the home fans who want this game over and done with.
Nketiah chance
Eddie Nketiah nearly makes a quick impact off the bench.
Gabriel Martinelli gets a cross into the box, but Nketiah is slightly on the stretch and heads wide.
Arsenal subs
Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah and Cedric are on.
They replace Bukayo Saka, Ben White and Leandro Trossard.
GOAL! BURNLEY 0-4 ARSENAL! Trossard
And what do you know...
Seconds after saying Leandro Trossard has missed a few he puts one away. Far too easy for Arsenal again and the Belgian gets the goal his performance has deserved.
Good chance Trossard
Burnley are caught playing out from the back by Gabriel Maritnelli. He is tackled but the ball squirms to Leandro Trossard.
The Belgian has a superb chance to make it four but puts it wide. He's missed a few today!
Bad injury
It's not looking good here for poor Aaron Ramsey of Burnley.
There's a lengthy delay as he's being given oxygen for a knee injury. It looked pretty inocuous at first but the youngster looks in some pain and is going to be stretchered off here after having his leg placed in a brace.
He'll be replaced by Jay Rodriguez.
Charlie Taylor is also on for Maxime Estede.
Time for changes?
It may be early but Mikel Arteta will surely be thinking about making a few changes with Porto coming up in the Champions League in midweek.
Bukayo Saka is on a yellow and having scored twice he could be a candidate.
GOAL! BURNLEY 0-3 ARSENAL! Saka
What a start to the second half!
No chance of Arsenal letting up here. Martin Odegaard finds Bukayo Saka on the right side of the box, he drives to goal and surprises Josh Trafford with a near post effort that's too powerful to keep out.
Safe to say the three points are coming back to London.
KICK OFF! BURNLEY 0-2 ARSENAL!
We're back underway at Turf Moor.
Johann Gudmondsson has replced Zeki Andouni. No changes for Arsenal

HALF TIME! BURNLEY 0-2 ARSENAL!
Utter domination from Arsenal.
They could be further ahead and there's more goals in it in the second half if they want them. Martin Odegaard is really enjoying himself out there with the space that Burnley are letting up. This could be one for the goal difference if it continues in this manner.
Arsenal in control
It's been a cake walk for Arsenal so far who have bullied Burnley. How strange that is to say.
Here's the Gunners celebrating the goal that started it all off from Martin Odegaard!
GOAL! BURNLEY 0-2 ARSENAL! Saka (pen)
Martin Odegaard grabs hold of the ball but in the now customary pre-penalty mind games he hands it to Bukayo Saka who steps up
He just about squeezes it just past Josh Trafford.
That's now six in six for Saka and looking like another three points for Arsenal.
Penalty Arsenal!
Lorenz Assignon brings down Leandro Trossard in the box and Gillett points to the spot.
Big chance
Arsenal are playing lovely football here.
Odegaard floats a superb ball to Havertz whose touch down finds Saka. He looks to square it across to Trossard but the Belgian misses his kick at the crucial moment.
Feels like a matter of time before the Gunners get their second here.
Quick thinking
Martin Odegaard plays Bukayo Saka in behind with a quick free kick.
He looks to square it to Bukayo Saka for an open goal but Dara O'Shea is just able to get a toe on it and put it behind for a corner.
Pushing and shoving
Arsenal get back to back corners and they've clearly decided to target Burnley goalkeeper Josh Trafford who has struggled from set pieces this season.
Ben White is the man tasked with blocking the 'keeper but Zeki Andouni is having none of it. The pair are engaged in a close tussle with plenty of pushing and shoving. Burnley though are able to clear both corners away.
Trossard chance
Bukayo Saka plays in Leandro Trossard and the Belgian is in on goal. He looks to round Josh Trafford, but the England under-21 keeper gets a paw to it to stop him from a certain goal.
The offisde flag goes up to spare Trossard's blushes, but yet more proof of how dangerous Arsenal are here.
Saka and Martinelli hacked down
Burnley come straight up the other end, but Arsenal win it back from a corner and look to counter. Gabriel Martinelli is clattered on the edge of the box but manages to head clear to Bukayo Saka and referee Jarred Gillett plays advantage. Saka is then in turn scythed down by Aaron Ramsey.
Ramsey is duly booked.
GOAL! BURNLEY 0-1 ARSENAL!
That didn't take long!
Arsenal come forward for the first meaninggul time in the game and work it wide to Gabriel Martinelli. He dribbles comfortably to edge of the box and superbly picks out Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian then hammers home from the edge of the box. Exactly the kind of goal he made a habit of last season.
Trossard injury
Arsenal are light as it is but Leandro Trossard has gone down injured here after an early collision with Sander Berge.
Thankfully he seems OK.
The hosts have made the stronger start and have a long throw in.
Today's view
It's a windy day here at Turf Moor but this is under the radar as one of the most beautiful away grounds in the country. Here's our view today.
