Ashley Barnes has been phenomenal for Burnley. He has scored 34 Premier League goals for the Clarets, which is 14 more than any other player. He was phenomenal in their opening match against Southampton where he scored a brace. Arsenal also have a suspect defence and Barnes could very well take advantage of it as well.

Barnes is an old-fashioned striker who may not be easy on the eyes but is effective on the field. He scored 12 goals last season, his best return in the Premier League to date and will hope to better himself this time around.

If Burnley have a chance to win the match against Arsenal tomorrow, it will all depend on the 29-year old and his performance. If Arsenal can keep him quiet tomorrow, they will have won half the battle.
