Can he win it for us late on? He did score here last season after all...

Chance for Lacazette is the area as Torreira lays it off for him, but our French striker is crowded out and his shot is blocked and spins up for Pope to hold

BURNLEY HIT THE BAR AND IT HITS THE LINE BEFORE BEING CLEARED!

The hosts think they have scored but somehow it stays out - Rodriguez was only eight yards out but somehow didn't score!

CHANCE!

We break at pace amd the ball comes to Lacazette out on the left, and his cross finds Aubameyang who heads just wide.

72’

David Luiz is down on the ground and receiving treatment after being cleared out by Nick Pope after a corner.

But after a few minutes of treatment, he's up and is able to continue.

Willock races forward and curls a shot wide of the far post from 25 yards

63’
Substitution: J. Willock comes on for Ozil

Massive chance for Burnley as they switch play, and McNeil curls in the ball from he left and Hendrick heads wide.

The Burnley man should score, that is a real let-off.

The home side are well on top in this half so far.

Another chance for the home side as an inswinging free kick clips the head of Xhaka and goes out for a corner.

But no, it's a goal kick, the officials missed that one...

41’

Tarkowski heads over the bar after a good ball in from McNeil.

The hosts putting the pressure on at the end of this half.

Big chance for Burnley as McNeil sends in a low cross from the left that evades everyone apart from Hendrick, whose first-time shot goes just over

36’

ANOTHER CHANCE!

Xhaka clips a lovely ball over the top for Aubameyang, who is in on goal but Pope is out and snatches the ball from Auba's attempted lob

Good defending from Hector as the ball is whipped into our box and he gets just enough on the ball to take it away from Wood and Leno claims it

30’

Burnley come forward and Wood finds McNeil, who flashes a shot just over from 25 yards

26’

Bukayo Saka looks in a bit of trouble here. Just went down for treatment, but is still not moving too freely.

22’

Guendouzi shoots just wide from a corner, but it took a deflection and we have another corner.

This time Mustafi rises highest but his header loops over.

21’

Chance for Lacazette as the ball breaks for him in the area, but just as he's about to strike it, Tarkowski clears.

For some reason, the Burnley man then gives the striker a shove while he's on the ground...

19’

Good save Bernd!

A long ball is played into Wood, who chests it down and finds Rodriguez and his shot is palmed around the post by Leno!

ANOTHER BIG CHANCE!

We've started well with Bukayo Saka particularly prominent down the left flank in the early exchanges.

Encouraging.
