    Enjaybe: Last Christmas, Arteta did start, and the very next day, they started to play. This year, it's coming quite clear, that Arsenal are nothing special.

    As an Arsenal supporter, not a good Christmas, still hopeful that Arteta can turn us round though! :-)

    Burnley defender Ben Mee has been in the wars today.

    He gets to the ball before being caught by Owen Otasowie.

    Mee grimaces but can continue.

    The amount of space Burnley are getting in behind the Wolves backline will be a worry for Nuno Espirito Santo.

    Ashley Westwood slips a pass through to Robbie Brady but Rayan Ait-Nouri recovers by putting the Republic of Ireland international off as he is getting the shot away.

    What a fantastic save. Patricio nearly got caught out, he nearly came to get it and would've been caught in no-man's land. But the footwork and speed to be able to set himself for that shot was fantastic.

    Ashley Barnes without a goal in his last 17 games.

    Shows why.

    Really should be scoring this.

    Wolves' three centre-backs fail to deal with a long ball over the top which Ashley Barnes latches on to, but the Clarets strikers drills a low strike straight at Rui Patricio when in on goal.

    Needed more composure there, he had plenty of time.

    He doesn't score many and is not close on this occasion either as right-back Matt Lowton smashes a long range drive all the way to Accrington.

    Wolves fly forward on the break and Pedro Neto carries it a long way, cutting onto his left peg but his low drive is smothered by the reliable Nick Pope.

    Nelson Semedo slightly connected on his heel. Maybe a bit higher? Potentially a connection on the bone, they're painful there.

    Burnley skipper Ben Mee is down again, the physio is taking a look at his left calf.

    This came after the nonsensical issue of the assistant being asked to keep his flag down.

    Wolves forward Daniel Podence is a joy to watch, the ball is glued to his foot and he dances left and right to work an opening before his cross into the head is headed away.

    Christmas has started early for me...5 days off work as of tomorrow and United beating Leeds 6-2! Buzzing!!

    One thing that always pleases me about Burnley is how close they come to having a starting XI wearing 1-11 on their back.

    North Africa link-up for Wolves.

    Algerian to Moroccan - Rayan Ait-Nouri swings in a cross into the box which Romain Saiss heads onto the roof of the nets.

    That would have been a beautiful goal. And a great delivery from Dwight McNeil.

    And as a goalkeeper, great ball forward to McNeil from Pope. All this pressure about playing out from the back, he just lumps it up field.

    Burnley almost break the deadlock through Chris Woods' acrobatic effort following Dwight McNeil's cross, but the Clarets striker screws it just wide.

    This might be sacrilege but I'm a bit fed up with the media churning out this Sean Dyche propaganda. His team is awful, dull and always has been? He must have fabulous PR people!

    Not sure about this late flag malarkey when a player is clearly off.

    Ben Mee had to carry on and make the challenge but looks like he has done himself a bit of damage.

    Nelson Semedo in on goal from a long pass, but Burnley skipper Ben Mee comes across to makes a superb sliding challenge in the nick of time.

    David: Sheff Utd and Arsenal have definitely had the worst start considering their league positions last year. Top 4 as it stands have all had injuries yet have got the most points so far. Long way to go.

    Well I wish it could be Christmas every daaaaaay, When Liverpool keep winning and Spurs begin to faaaaade.

    "Movement!" is the shout from someone on the touchline as Burnley try to work an opening but they can find no way through the gold and black wall.
