The Gunners comfortably beat rock-bottom Swansea 4-0 in south Wales last weekend, but Chelsea's 3-0 demolition of champions Leicester keeps Antonio Conte's Blues eight points ahead of Arsene Wenger's men.
While Arsenal currently occupy fourth spot, Manchester United and Man City are hot on the heels of the north London club with the race for Champions League qualification set to go to the wire.
Every points is already crucial a full four months before the end of the season, but Sean Dyche's Burnley sit a creditable 10th with three wins in their last four games despite a shoestring budget.
TEAM NEWS
Hector Bellerin, Kieran Gibbs are back in training for Arsenal after missing the 4-0 win over Swansea, while Francis Coquelin is also set to return.
Olivier Giroud was substituted against Swansea with a toe injury, but Arsenal are optimistic that the in-form striker will be available for Sunday's clash in north London as their assessments continue.
Theo Walcott (calf), Mathieu Debuchy (hamstring) and Per Mertesacker (knee) should be out until the end of the month, while Santi Cazorla could miss the rest of the season due to further complications with an achilles injury.
Dean Marney is a slight doubt for Burnley, while Scott Arfield and Johann Gudmundsson are both expected to recovered from hamstring complaints in time.
POSSIBLE LINE-UPS
Arsenal starting XI: Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Ramsey, Xhaka; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez; Giroud
Burnley starting XI: Heaton, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Boyd, Arfield, Marney, Gudmundsson, Gray, Barnes
