Arne Slot has no excuses as Fulham and Palace look stretched should Arsenal fear Burnley’s full-backs
Arne Slot has no excuses as Fulham and Crystal Palace look stretched.
Burnley’s Kyle Walker and Quilindschy Hartman form one of the league’s finest full-back pairings.
Walker is a veteran right back who has long been among the world’s best.
Hartman, a newcomer from the Eredivisie, has settled into the Premier League with ease.
Defensively disciplined, they also push high and create chances from wide positions.
Hartman has supplied assists, including crosses that set Zian Flemming’s goal against Wolves.
That gives Hartman four assists in nine Premier League appearances.
Arsenal should be wary of the Burnley double on the flanks.
Slot must blunt their threat with smart rotations and tight midfield shape.
If Burnley can maintain balance, they will test every defence they face.
Supporters hope Hartman and Walker can prove a new pillar for Burnley as the season unfolds.
For now, the focus is clear: respect the wingback pairing and plan accordingly.
TLDR:
Hartman and Walker are Burnley’s dangerous wing-back pairing.
Arsenal should mind Burnley’s flank threat.
Slot must adapt tactically to blunt Burnley on the wings.
