To kick off yet another thrilling week of EPL action, Arsenal (1 win, 3 losses, 0 draws – 3 points) will travel to take on Burnley (0 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw – 1 point). The match will be held at Turf Moor and is set to kick off at 10 a.m. ET Saturday. Below, we preview the Burnley vs. Arsenal odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.
A team thought to be an EPL powerhouse, Arsenal, will come in looking to extend their win streak, having finally taken down an opponent after three straight losses, two of which were to Manchester City and Chelsea.
Arsenal is led by star F Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He’ll look to get back into top form.
Against Burnley, it will certainly be possible. They are coming off a 3-1 loss to Everton. They drew Leeds United the game before for their only point of the season.

Prediction
Arsenal 2, Burnley 1
Money line (ML)
BET on ARSENAL +100 as they’re a talented side and are being underrated by the oddsmakers.
To kick off the EPL season, Arsenal lost 2-0 to Brentford. COVID-19 protocols, given the positive tests on the team, crushed the availability of their stars.
Then, they followed that up with Chelsea and Manchester City. Since returning to full strength, Arsenal has defeated Norwich, and they’ll get another bottom-tier opponent in Burnley.
Burnley doesn’t have a top-tier nine. All three of their goals have been via different scorers. Without that threat, I think it’ll be hard for them to even draw Arsenal.
Over/Under (O/U)
“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (+105) as both defenses have been that bad. Burnley has given up at least two goals in three of their four matches. The Over 2.5 would’ve hit in two of the four.
Arsenal has given up two or more in three of the four as well, but with many of their attackers being out, they’ve struggled to score. With the roster healthy, expect their attack to start to come alive.
With a plus-money value, this is a good bet.
