ARSENAL host Burnley on Sunday night desperate to salvage their season.
The Gunners currently sit way down in 15th in the Premier League.
How Arsenal could line-up against Burnley on Sunday
Mikel Arteta’s biggest problem has been fielding a starting XI that can pose problems at the attacking end.
Arsenal have mustered just TEN league goals in their 11 matches this season, with Alexandre Lacazette on three goals and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring just two.
Incredibly, three of those ten goals came in the first game of the season against Fulham, with things going sour ever since.
And Arteta could opt to shake things up this weekend by starting Eddie Nketiah in a central role.

The young English striker, 21, is Arsenal’s top scorer in all competitions this season with five goals after getting on the scoresheet against Dundalk on Thursday night.
Arteta is most-likely to continue fielding a 4-2-3-1, despite lacking an obvious natural No10.
Bernd Leno is certain to start in goal, with Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney in the full-back spots.
Gabriel Magalhaes is arguably the first name on the team-sheet this season and is set to start alongside David Luiz or Rob Holding in the heart of the back-four.
Another way Arteta could send out his Arsenal team vs Burnley
With Thomas Partey injured, Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka are set to keep their places in the deeper midfield roles.
However, desperate for a creative spark, Ainsley Maitland-Niles could be given a chance to finally play in his preferred role.
Dani Ceballos and Joe Willock are most-likely to fight for the No10 spot, but Emile Smith Rowe will hope to force his way into contention.
With Nicolas Pepe suspended, Willian is set to start at right-wing, with Aubameyang on the left and Nketiah through the middle.
Arteta could of course decide to play his captain in the No9 role, with Nketiah on the wing.
Alternatively, Bukayo Saka could replace either striker and start in an advanced left-wing role.
Arsenal host Burnley on Sunday night with kick-off at 7.15pm.
