Slot has no excuses as Burnley’s full backs pose Arsenal test
Arne Slot has no excuses as Burnley’s full backs face a stern Arsenal test.
Kyle Walker and Quilindschy Hartman have emerged as one of the Premier League’s finest full-back pairings this season.
Walker remains one of the best right backs in world football, and Hartman has adapted from the Eredivisie.
Hartman has stuck to defensive duties while offering a clear route forward against tricky wingers.
The duel against Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze will be a true gauge of Burnley’s balance.
The Dutchman has four assists in nine Premier League appearances, including two crosses that set up Zian Flemming against Wolves.
Arsenal should tread carefully as Burnley set up to deny space and strike on the break.
TLDR
- Hartman and Walker form a disciplined, dangerous Burnley back line that can hurt Arsenal on the flanks.
- Hartman has four assists in nine games, including decisive crosses for Flemming against Wolves.
- Arsenal must respect Burnley’s structure and pace, with Saka and Eze kept in check by the full backs.
