The Clarets face Arsenal at Turf Moor on Sunday knowing that a first Premier League victory in the fixture will take them above the Gunners in the table.
The sides are locked together on 30 points with Arsenal just three places better off in 10th thanks to a superior goal difference.
The former champions have steadied the ship since former player Mikel Arteta replaced Unai Emery as manager in December.
But after beating Leicester City and Manchester United, the Clarets have put themselves back in striking distance and will leapfrog Arteta’s men with a seventh home win of the season.
