Match Report
Mikel Arteta's men are held to a limp goalless draw at the Emirates as their bid to climb back into the Champions League spots takes a blow, with basement club earning hard-fought point
Arsenal will find some warm weather during their upcoming winter break trip to Dubai. And, Mikel Arteta will hope, also their spark again.
A mid-season getaway seems like exactly what they need right now, especially if it does the trick and they return refreshed. They looked anything but fresh against Burnley.
Knackered and crestfallen in fact as they slumped to the turf when referee David Coote's final whistle confirmed the continuation of their start to 2022 that has brought a shuddering halt to the momentum that was building before the turn of the year.
Arsenal have come under fire for their controversial request to postpone the North London derby.
The FA's betting probe into a booking for one of their players is another unwanted headache.
Arteta and his players will be pleased to see the back of this recent period though they will have to wait the best part of three weeks to try and put things right again.

Football is very weird, Arsenal won before more than 7 games without any defeat and all of us we praised Artea and all of them but today they are going through a little bad period just 5 games without any victory and we are making fan of them. What an ungrateful sport
