Turf Moor, Burnley, ENG

Johann Gudmundsson - Creates three chancesGudmundsson took three corners, attempted four crosses (two accurate and created three chances in Saturday's 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.

ImpactGudmondsson somehow managed to carve out three chances, despite only playing half of what was a one-sided game. Manager Vincent Kompany may decide to shake things up after the heavy defeat, so it would be no surprise to see him start the midfielder against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Aaron Ramsey - Suffers injuryRamsey came off in Saturday's 5-0 loss to Arsenal with what looked like a serious injury.

ImpactRamsey's season has been regularly interrupted by injury and this was the first time he had started three consecutive games. He was withdrawn in the second half after landing awkwardly and injuring his knee. While the severity of the injury is yet to be determined, it was not a promising sight to see him being given oxygen as he was stretchered off. He was replaced by Jay Rodriguez, who could be set for a run in the starting XI.

Dara O'Shea - Two shots in lossO'Shea had two shots off target and made six clearances in Saturday's 5-0 defeat to Burnley.

ImpactO'Shea was coming off the back of scoring his first Premier League goal against Liverpool. With the centre back managing more efforts at goal than any of his teammates, it just goes to show how toothless Burnley are in attack. He also has three assists this season and is a threat from set pieces, which is something Burnley will be relying upon if they are to stand any chance Premier League survival.

James Trafford - Concedes fiveTrafford conceded five goals and made two saves in Saturday's 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.

ImpactPlaying behind a defense who look out of their depth in the top flight, Trafford never stood a chance of shutting Arsenal out and it could easily have been more than five. However, the keeper has impressed with his shot stopping this season and he looks like one of few Burnley players that can handle life in the Premier League. He faces a run of more favourable fixtures, starting with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Jakub Kiwior - Registers assistKiwior registered an assist and won one of his two tackles in Saturday's 5-0 win over Burnley.

ImpactKiwior assisted directly from a throw-in, finding Kai Havertz who went on to score the fifth. He has started the last two games, playing his part in consecutive clean sheets, in the absence of Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf). Kiwior's run in the starting XI could be about to come to end with Zinchenko's return imminent.

Kai Havertz - Scores in easy winHavertz scored once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 5-0 win against Burnley.

ImpactHavertz enjoyed what was perhaps his best game in an Arsenal shirt and waltzed through the non-existent Burnley defense to score the fifth. After a difficult start, the Champions League winner has found his feet in Arsenal's midfield and has five goals and one assist in the league.

Leandro Trossard - Scores againTrossard scored once from three shots (one on target) in Saturday's 5-0 win over Burnley.

ImpactTrossard has excelled in the last two games, filling in the no.9 position in the absence of Gabriel Jesus (knee). He has scored in both games and also won the penalty that led to the second against Burnley. The attacker has four goals in his last five, though he only started three of those games. Jesus is expected to return this week, but it is worth keeping an eye on Mikel Arteta's team selections with Trossard showing such good form.
