The Gunners are looking to see off the relegation threatened Clarets with ease, much like they did with Sheffield United a few weeks back.
However, Mikel Arteta has a number of injury problems to contend with. Gabriel Jesus remains out, while Martin Odegaard is also a big worry. Beyond those two, Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka are also thought to be carrying knocks that could rule them out.
But looking at the latest pictures released from training, there appears to be some good news when it comes to striker Nketiah.
Spotted in full training as seen in the image from Getty below, Nketiah is looking fit and well and ready for selection for the Gunners.
Eddie Nketiah boosts Arsenal ahead of Burnley
Given the number of injuries clubs seem to be suffering this season, Mikel Arteta will be more than relieved to see Eddie Nketiah fighting fit here.
The striker is going to be key for the Gunners with Jesus out and he showed with his hat-trick a few weeks back just how lethal he can be in front of goal.
For Nketiah, it’s a big chance for him to stake his claim as the main man at Arsenal. Yes, he’ll be aware Jesus is the top dog at the moment but if Nketiah can keep scoring goals, he’ll leave Arteta with a tough choice.
Lauded for his ‘fabulous‘ finishing against the Blades, Nketiah will be crucial in getting past a Burnley side who are desperate for a win today.
It seems, then, that the striker is ready to go in what is a big boost for the Gunners.
