This may be the Arsenal team their supporters have wanted for so long.Seeking their fifth league victory on the trot and fifth consecutive win overall, the Gunners look to keep rolling into the international break Sunday when they face Burnley at Turf Moor.After a slow start in which they took just one point from their first two matches, Arsenal (4-1-1) have regrouped in emphatic fashion, scoring 19 goals while going 6-1-0 across all competitions and not letting up against the Premier Leagues lightweights.Spirits are high in North London, and heading into the break with a victory would further reinforce the notion the Gunners will be legitimate title contenders as opposed to being content with their customary top-four finish that secures Champions League play.Arsenal followed up their classy 3-0 waxing of Chelsea last Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Swiss side FC Basel on Wednesday in the Champions League. Alexis Sanchez set up Theo Walcott for goals in the 7th and 26th minutes, and the Gunners again played with the flow and style manager Arsene Wenger covets.When we have good movement, with the quality and speed of our passing and when it is on a high level, we can be a danger in every situation, Laurent Koscielny told the Arsenal Player. We have been better for the past two or three weeks and we need to keep this and not to think that because we played well (previously), the results will come.Walcott has tapped a rich vein of goal-scoring with four in his last three matches and is joint-leader in goals scored with Sanchez at five. With Saturday marking the 20th anniversary of Wengers arrival in London from Japans Grampus-8, its a good time to be the French manager as he struck a reflective tone at his Friday news conference.Its a privilege. Its my life. Twenty years in a professional career is amazing, he said. We go just game by game but when you look back you see that you have come a long way. It also reminds you that the club has moved forward from a normal shop to a big supermarket, a world market. For me to go through this history has been a privilege.When asked if he would extend his tenure to 25 years, Wenger played coy but noted, its a love story and you always expect a love story to last forever, but it can always stop suddenly. What will influence me the most is the fact that I feel I do well and can move this team forward.Sanchez and Walcott likely will again feature up top since Wenger has ruled out Olivier Giroud. Aaron Ramsey is also sidelined, and holding midfielder Frances Coquelin likely will be a game-time decision despite rapidly progressing from his injury.Arsenal should have an overwhelming share of possession in this match given Burnley (2-1-3) are expected to sit back and look for spots to counter. The Clarets employed such a strategy at home against Liverpool on Aug. 20 and emerged with a 2-0 victory despite being outshot 26-3 and having just 21 percent possession.Burnley, though, took the match to Watford at home on Monday and again came away with a 2-0 triumph. Jeff Hendrick scored late in the first half and Michael Keane scored early in the second as the Clarets showed signs of life offensively after totaling just three goals in their first five matches. Manager Sean Dyche attributed that to an adjustment to stretch the field and use one striker after losing to Leicester City.I wanted this idea of focus and freedom and some of the passing and movement was excellent, he told Burnleys official website. It was a controlled performance and at this level, thats not easy to do, so I was pleased with that.I felt we added to that tonight by getting into wider areas quicker and some of the deliveries were excellent.Sam Vokes will likely serve as the lone striker again as Burnley will be without forward Andre Gray, who is serving the second of his four-match ban given by the FA for misconduct related to his homophobic tweets from 2012. Dyche agreed the tweet was unacceptable, but for the moment, he and the team are focusing on the task at hand and trying to beat Arsenal.I think its a tough one to take, the manager said. He has moved on a long way since then and well back him and support him through this tough period. He is a young man who, four years ago, was learning at that point in his life. He didnt have the back-up and support and education from the FA.Arsenal have won four straight over Burnley, including a 2-1 victory in the fourth round of the 2016 FA Cup. The Gunners have three wins and a draw in the four Premier League meetings between the teams, and the Clarets lone win in the last eight contests (1-1-6) was a 2-0 triumph in the quarterfinals of the 2009 League Cup.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Davis Love III is busy still trying to play his way back into shape after back surgery in February. Playing with Brandt Snedeker and Dustin Johnson, he did a bit better than just keep up. The 49-year-old Love shot a 4-under 66 for his best round of the year Thursday for a share of the lead with five other players after the first round of the St. Jude Classic, the final event before the U.S. Open next week at Merion in Ardmore, Pa. "I still hit some bad shots," Love said. "At the Players and Memorial, I felt like I was playing better than I was scoring. I think its rust. Im excited to be back, and Im anxious and I want to play better than Im playing. Im a little bit tired from the two 36-hole qualifiers as well. You got to be a little bit more patient and polished. Thats going to take some rounds of golf to get back." Stuart Appleby, Harris English, Nathan Green, Martin Flores and Glen Day also pushed their way into the lead on a day where at least three others had a piece of the top spot lead at some point. Defending champ Dustin Johnson was 5 under through six holes, taking advantage of near perfect conditions at the TPC Southwind with a temperature in the low 80s and only a slight breeze early. But Johnson finished with a 67 and was tied with 10 others including David Toms, a two-time winner here, and Shawn Stefani, who was tied for the lead before he hit into a fairway bunker and bogeyed No. 18. Snedeker, currently No. 6 in the world, opened with a 70. Boo Weekley, who won at Colonial, shot a 68 and was tied with seven others. Phil Mickelson had a 71. Love took off in February for surgery to relieve numbness and weakness caused by spinal stenosis and bone spurs. He didnt play at all in March or April, and this is his fourth tournament back on tour. He tied for 29th at Memorial last week, and tied for third here a year ago in what wound up being his best finish of 2012. He credited his good start to being grouped with Johnson and Snedeker, who also like to play fast. "I tried to keep up with Dustin and Brandt," Love said. Love made the turn at 2 under and birdied Nos. 10 and 11 to move into a five-way tie at 4 under with six others a stroke back at that point. He bogeyed No. 12 and bogeyed the par-3 14th. But Love birdied two of his final three holes to finish with a piece of the lead. Appleby had five birdies and a bogey for his best round this year. The Australian with nine victories hasnt won since The Greenbrier Classic in 2010, and his best this year was a tie for 35th at the Heritaage in South Carolina.dddddddddddd He said he was surprised the scores werent lower on a day where there wasnt any wind. "I thought there were some more birdies out there," Appleby said. "I think just with the pace of the greens if youre above the hole its tricky. Im happy with the way I played today. Anybody who got under par today, the scoreboard, certainly fought to get there." English, a 23-year-old from Georgia, got to 5 under on his back nine only to bogey his next hole at No. 5. Flores also got to 5 under when he birdied No. 13 to take the lead to himself only to double bogey the 14th after hitting into a bunker. He birdied No. 16 to get back into the lead group. Green, who lost his card last year, was the clubhouse leader at midday. The Australian who won the 2009 Canadian Open has been busy rebuilding his chipping and putting. This is his best round this year, but it had been a while since Green had seen his name at the top of a leaderboard. "I was starting to get nervous seeing my name on the board and made two good up and downs to finish off the round, which is nice," Green said after hitting into bunkers on Nos. 17 and 18 on his way in. Mickelson struggled on Nos. 15-17 with two bogeys and a double bogey on the par-5 16th where he hit into a greenside bunker into the rough and into another bunker before finally holing out. He said he wasnt sharp with his short game on small, fast greens that dont hold shots well in his first competitive round in a month. "This is great because its a great test," Mickelson said. "The guy that strikes it well is going to have a big advantage, but when you do miss greens, youve got to be pretty sharp with your short game because the lies around the greens are some of the most difficult that we get." But for someone who hadnt played in so long, Mickelson said he was happy with how he hit the ball. "Its about as good as Ive been striking it, and I feel like theres a good round in me," Mickelson said. Notes: Paul Goydos, who shot a 73, may have re-injured his left wrist hitting out of some deep rough on 15. This was his first event in more than a year after extensive surgery on his wrist. He wrote on Twitter that he got some therapy after his round and planned to ice every hour but will not know how bad it is until he warms up Friday morning. ...Guan Tianglang, the 14-year-old from China who made the cut at the Masters, opened with a 73. ...
