Kyle Walker has been there, seen it, done it, and won it all during his illustrious career - but games like the one Burnley face against Arsenal this coming weekend still get him as excited as ever.

The 35 year-old, a mainstay in the Clarets team since his summer move to Turf Moor, is relishing locking horns with the table-topping Gunners, a side he respects, but one he can’t wait to go to battle against.

Speaking on the eve of the fixture in BB10, Walker said: "We have to respect them – they've improved a lot over the last couple of years.

"They play some really good football, and they're well coached by Mikel, someone I worked closely with in my time at Manchester City.

"It's going to be a battle. We'll show them respect, but they'll have to respect us too.”

Burnley head into the clash against Arsenal buoyed by back-to-back wins – and Walker is determined to keep that positive momentum going this weekend.

"We'll need to make the game on our terms, not on their terms,” he said.

"We respect them, of course we do, but we're fighting for something ourselves, and we're determined to give our fans something to shout about this weekend.

"We'll have to communicate well, defend well - but we also know where we can hurt them.

"We want to create them problems, like we've done for a lot of teams in a lot of games this season.”

Walker believes the special Turf Moor atmosphere can play a major role tomorrow, adding: "They're coming to Turf Moor, where we've only lost once this season, and it's a record we want to build on.

"The atmosphere is always great at our stadium, it's really impressed me - and we'll need it louder than ever this weekend!”
