Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope says the players are up for today's trip to Arsenal.

Pope admits the side are raring to go and return to Premier League action on Sunday, as the Clarets will play their first league fixture in 21 days at the Emirates.

He said: "It's been a little bit strange going through this season, well from December onwards nothing has been quite normal.

"You just have to adapt to it, that's something that's important, like myself i was off with it.

"You can't sit at home and watch box sets for two weeks and have all the leftovers from Christmas, you have to look after yourself.

"I think that is something that we have been good at, keeping on top of ourselves and the staff have been really supportive too.

"The lads are eager to get back to it and you get that kind of excited feeling, after having a long break, but all the lads are looking forward to getting back to it."
