Mikel Arteta previews Burnley clash<\/h3>\n

Arsenal defeated Burnley 3-1 on Saturday to move up to second in the Premier League table. The Gunners have now won eight of their opening 12 top-flight matches of the campaign and have moved level on points with league leaders Manchester City. But Arsenal, who had Fabio Vieira sent off late on, will need to solve three issues if they want to compete for the title this season.<\/p>\n

Arsenal dominated proceedings in north London but were frustrated during the first half as Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford made a number of fine saves to keep the scores level. And in an end-to-end encounter, David Raya was also called into action in the other goal.<\/p>\n

Arsenal eventually got off the mark in stoppage time at the end of the opening period as Leandro Trossard headed in Bukayo Saka\u2019s cross. But the visitors hit back as Josh Brownhill struck in the early stages of the second half. William Saliba put his side ahead for the second time in the match moments later as the Gunners found their rhythm. And the hosts eventually saw the game out as Oleksandr Zinchenko added a third with 16 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will now be without Vieira following the player\u2019s red card as the midfielder will be forced to serve a suspension. The Spaniard is already missing Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard through injury. And Express Sport takes a look at three other issues he needs to address following the victory over Burnley.<\/p>\n

Starting each half quicker<\/h3>\n

Arsenal started their latest clash in a dilatory manner as they allowed Burnley time on the ball. And the visitors got into the game as they looked to threaten the Gunners. It was a similar story in the second period as the Clarets pushed forward after the interval. And Brownhill gave the hosts a scare when he levelled the scores just before the hour mark. Another side may have taken advantage of the Gunners’ slow starts to each half.<\/p>\n

Killing teams off early<\/h3>\n

Arsenal have a heavy workload this season as they are playing in the Champions League. And Arteta will want his side to kill games off early so he can rotate players during matches and give his stars a bit of a rest.<\/p>\n
