Arsenal will aim to maintain their flawless streak with a journey to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Gunners enjoyed a stellar October, claiming victory in all six matches during the month whilst keeping a clean sheet throughout. A comfortable 2-0 triumph over Brighton saw Mikel Arteta's team cruise into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup in midweek, though they were handed a challenging draw against Crystal Palace in the following round.
Due to fixture congestion, where Palace are set to play four matches in eight days, that clash with the North London giants could be rescheduled. Nevertheless, Arteta isn't enthusiastic about selecting an alternative date. He said: "I don't think that's fair because we have other competitions as well, so we have to try to accommodate. We knew at the start of the season the competitions that each club is playing in. I don't think it would be fair."
Here's all the latest news at Arsenal, including a bitter row involving a summer signing.
