Barnes Storming The Arsenal
The Burnley hitman has picked up where he left off having now scored 10 goals in his last 16 Premier League appearances, including against the Gunners on the final day of last season.
Arsenal have a surprisingly poor record in opening home matches of the season having lost 5 of their last 8 starts at the Emirates. They’ll be encouraged by the solid victory at Newcastle last weekend, but then again Burnley will have their tails up after a 3-0 demolition of Southampton.
One man stood out in particular - Ashley Barnes. The former Brighton man found the net twice, and he recorded his best top flight goal tally last season. His 11 Premier League goals in 2019 alone is the 4th best in the division.
Barnes is a best price 12/1 with Bet365 to score first in the early kick-off. The Gunners could be caught cold, but even if the 29-year-old fires later in the match we can get paid out at 1/3rd odds by going each-way.
