Paul Merson is backing Arsenal to continue their winning
Premier League run and beat Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners are unbeaten in five Premier League games
since a 4-3 loss to top-four rivals Liverpool in their opening fixture of the
2016-17 season.
Arsenal have beaten Watford, Southampton, Hull City and
Chelsea in their last four Premier League outings to hoist Arsene Wenger’s side
up to third place.
The Gunners polished off an impressive spell with a 2-0
win against Swiss outfit Basel in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Former Arsenal midfielder Merson believes the north
London side should ease to a comfortable victory over Sean Dyche’s side on
Sunday afternoon.
“It should be 4-0. Burnley shouldn’t be able to live with
Arsenal if they pass the ball around like they have in the last few games,”
Merson told Sky Sports.
“But that won’t happen. Burnley will set up 4-5-1 and
make it very difficult. If Arsenal get the first goal it sets them up but we
have seen it all before, which is why I wouldn’t be shocked if Burnley won.”
