One piece of stat that should frighten Arsenal fans is the fact that they have lost 5 of their last 8 opening home matches. This is one trend that the gunners will hope to reverse and Aubameyang will be crucial to that end.

Aubameyang is one of if not the current best striker in the Premier League right now. He won the golden boot last season and will look to continue his rich vein of form this season. He opened his account in the game against Newcastle and scored the only goal apart from having four shots on goal. That was enough to give Arsenal a winning start to their campaign.

Aubameyang has now scored 8 goals in his last six games in all competitions. Arsenal will look to Aubameyang to provide them with more goals tomorrow evening by finding spaces in Burnley’s defence and scoring one or two.  He has after all scored a brace in all 3 of his previous Arsenal vs Burnley matches before. Arsenal are looking to begin their Premier League campaign two straight wins for the first time since 2009/10 and Aubameyang will play a huge role in that.
