ARSENAL v BURNLEY

Emirates Stadium, 12.30pm

HE saved his former club from relegation with

a wonder goal when just a teenager – now

Arsenal’s £72million new-boy has been tipped

to star in the Premier League.

Nicolas Pepe’s strike is the stuff of legend at

French fifth division Stade Poitevin. He could make

his home debut today, with former team-mate

Anthony Arnould saying: “He made the game look

easy but always had the ability to make a difference.”
