After rounding off their perfect Europa League group campaign with another win on Thursday, Arsenal switch focus back to the Premier League with a home meeting against Burnley.
The Gunners may have impressed on the continent, most recently seeing off Dundalk, but their domestic form has led to questions being asked of Mikel Arteta's long-term future.
With his side down in 15th place heading into this weekend's meeting with lowly Burnley, Arteta cannot afford for his side to slip up again at the Emirates Stadium.
