Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 116

Burnley wins: 34

Draws: 24

Arsenal wins: 58

Back when Arsenal were prefixed with Woolwich, the Gunners were subjected to several beatings at the hands of Burnley, who thrashed the North London club 6-1 in their inaugural meeting in the 1895-96 FA Cup and 5-0 in their first-ever league battle one year later.

However, the three-time Premier League winners have since enjoyed a steady streak of dominance against their Lancashire foes, triumphing in 58 of their 116 games across all tournaments, while playing out 24 draws and suffering 34 losses.

Burnley would dominate this fixture again in the 1920s and 1960s, but during the Premier League era (1992 and onwards), the Clarets have only ever won two of their 23 matches against the Gunners across all tournaments.

The most recent of those successes was a shock 1-0 victory at the Emirates in December 2020 - Burnley's first and only Premier League win over Arsenal to date - while the second was a 2008-09 EFL Cup win against a juvenile Arsene Wenger team.

Since being slain at the Emirates five years ago, Arsenal have gone unbeaten in each of their last six matches against the Clarets, claiming four victories and playing out two stalemates with their less revered foes.

Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice found the mark in the most recent of those successes, as the Premier League leaders strode to a 2-0 away win in November 2025.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners ran riot in a 5-0 Turf Moor trouncing in February 2024, prior to which they also strode to a 3-1 Emirates win over the Clarets in November 2023, and they are yet to suffer a Premier League defeat to Burnley away from home.

Between March 2010 and August 2019, Arsenal strung together an exceptional 11-game winning sequence against Burnley in all competitions, a run that was snapped in a goalless draw in North London in February 2020.

The biggest margin of victory in this fixture also belongs to the men in red and white, who obliterated Burnley 7-1 in a 1937 FA Cup fifth-round game, thanks in no small part to four goals from Ted Drake.
