On the back of ending their horrific home hoodoo, Burnley return to the road to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Vincent Kompany's side produced a five-star performance to crush Sheffield United 5-0 over the weekend, while the hosts were narrowly defeated 2-1 by Arsenal.
However, as Mikel Arteta's men squandered numerous chances to put the game to bed, Matheus Cunha capitalised on a defensive lapse to reduce the arrears in the second half, forcing Arsenal to adopt a backs-against-the-wall approach in the closing stages.
The league leaders' defensive efforts would ultimately pay dividends in a hard-fought win, but after watching his troupe hand Arsenal a few scares in North London, O'Neil was able to reflect on the positives of Saturday's performance while also having a pop at the Gunners for perceived time-wasting.
Despite the praiseworthy manner of their performance, the form chart makes for rather grim reading for the hosts, who have now been beaten in three of their last four Premier League matches to slip down to 13th spot, and they could be dragged closer to the dotted line depending on results on Sunday.
