Compared with the start of the last game, except for Mesut Ozil absent, the rest of the personnel have not changed, the reason for the German's absence is illness, people have come to the Burnley hotel, it can only be said that the weather is unpredictable, in the cold weather, pay attention to keep warm and drink hot water.

Arsenal's starting line-up was no surprise, but for the Three Lions coach Gareth Southgate, who was watching the game in the stands, he was a little depressed, he didn't know why he had to watch Arsenal's game, Arsenal has been in the league for several games without England's starting line-up, so stubbornly watching Arsenal's game, I don't know if there is an element of gambling in it, I have to wait until the day when Arsenal's starting line has the people of the British Empire.

As for the starting line-up of more than half of the host Burnley's team, in the absence of England's third international Tom Heaton, there may only be one or two worth examining, and it is just a casual look.

Burnley's starting line-up with a 451 formation was as follows:

Goalkeeper: No. 29 Nick Pope

Defenders: No. 2 Matthew Lowton, No. 5 James Tarkowski, No. 6 Benjamie M (c), No. 23 Stephen Ward

In the live video broadcast room, Zhan Yingjun and Zhang Heilu are doing pre-game analysis.

Zhang Heilu: "Mr. Zhan, Burnley is not easy to play, before the game against Arsenal, Burnley has won three consecutive victories, and has not conceded a goal in three games, Burnley's defense is too strong." ”

Zhan Yingjun: "Yes, 1-0 win over Newcastle, 1-0 win over Southampton, 2-0 win over Swansea, Burnley can achieve such results against teams in the same division, and Burnley's ability to finish seventh is the best indication of the true quality of this team. In fact, since the beginning of this season, Burnley have shown their impregnable defense, in addition to being scored three goals by the firepower Manchester City, Burnley drew all the way to Tottenham and Liverpool, conceding only nine goals after 12 rounds, and is the best team in the entire Premier League so far this season except Manchester City and Chelsea. ”

Zhang Heilu: "It is said that the sophomore wall is very sad, why has Burnley changed so much this season after a difficult relegation last season? ”

Zhan Yingjun: "Dyche's coaching philosophy is very pragmatic, he has led a very strong team, with the two main formations of 4411 and 451, Burnley have taken an absolute defensive position in most Premier League competitions. The century-old club didn't rely on star players when they dominated the Championship, and they are now doing the same in the Premier League. Without an absolute core team, the manager can maximize the tactical execution. It was with the tight implementation of Dyche's attacking and defensive strategy that the Burnley players managed to survive relegation last season and have made a name for themselves in the Premier League this season. Burnley's characteristic is to rely on a strong single striker to break forward, supplemented by a tactical shadow striker who can connect the midfield and run back and forth behind the striker, Burnley can block the midfield as much as possible when defending, and without rushing to attack and counterattack, Burnley's two parallel lines make most attacking routines ineffective. ”

Zhan Yingjun paused and continued: "For example, against Tottenham, the midfield was tightly guarded, forcing Tottenham's attack to the flanks to form an isolated area. Against Liverpool, the longitudinal area of the flanks was tightly guarded, leaving the Reds without enough space to gallop. In these two games, Burnley can score the first goal is very telling, this team is not only defensive tough, but also very clear attacking routine, through a large area of long passes in the midfield, directly to the heart of the opponent's penalty area, let the tall few attacking players to squeeze the opponent's defense as much as possible, find space and immediately hit the goal. ”

Zhang Heilu smiled: "He is worthy of being an expert in the Premier League, and his analysis is in place." So what can Arsenal do against such a defensively tough team? ”

Zhan Yingjun: "Of course, Manchester City's three-goal win over Burnley is typical. More powerful individual blasting ability, or more advantageous aerial strike ability, is the magic weapon of Manchester City's victory over Burnley. In that game, the sheer ability to strike one-on-one allowed Sane to rely on a sudden shot from inside the box to score with the Burnley defence coming back quickly. The more advantageous aerial striking ability makes Manchester City's set-piece a weapon close to the Burnley penalty area. However, even after the final defeat to Manchester City, Burnley's defense in this game is still worth affirming and learning. Had it not been for the first-half penalty, Burnley would have been helpless for most of the time for City's formidable attacking line. This team can intercept and steal to create offside, and retreat can clear the ball with a header and chase back. It wasn't until more than 70 minutes into the game, after Manchester City used a goal to expand the score, that Burnley's defence was deflated. ”

Zhang Heilu said in surprise: "Even Manchester City's strong offensive line is difficult to penetrate into Burnley's penalty area, and it is difficult for Arsenal to rely on midfield penetration to attack opponents." ”

Zhan Yingjun nodded and said: "Yes, even 'track and field teams' such as Liverpool and Tottenham are difficult to taste the sweetness of Burnley, and if Arsenal's wings want to take advantage, the situation is also not optimistic." ”

"Teacher Zhan, you said earlier that if you want to defeat Burnley, you must either have a strong individual blasting ability or an air strike ability, and these arsenals also have such magic weapons."

"Well, in the Arsenal team, it is Sanchez who has the ability to burst alone, Giroud, Koscielny, Mustafi, Mertesacker and others have strong heading ability. It's just that Ozil is out of the game with physical problems, and it is Wilshere and Iwobi who can achieve a breakthrough with the ball in the midfield and a transition of organization. It's just that Wilshere played the whole game in midweek and didn't start this game, so I'm worried that Iwobi alone will be difficult to break through the Burnley defence. ”

"Isn't there Tan Xibi here?"
