Arsenal take on Burnley this afternoon looking to continue their hot streak, but they might be surprised by the amount of empty seats in the away end when they walk out the tunnel at Turf Moor.
The Gunners are unbeaten since the first day of the season, when they lost 4-3 at home to Liverpool on August 13, in a run that stretches back nine games.
But if Arsene Wenger's men are to extend that run into double figures, they'll need to do so without a considerable about of their travelling support - after their train hit a herd of cows.
Yup, according to the Evening Standard, the 09:38 Kings Cross service to Sunderland hit the herd and left a whopping eight cows dead, with the train forced to turn back to London because of the damage.

It means that hundreds of supporters heading to the Premier League clash at Burnley won't make it for the 4:30pm kick-off. God, if only those cows had mooooved over (I'm so sorry).
