The 18-year-old was part of a youthful Gunners side that lost 2-0 at Turf Moor in the fifth round of the Carling Cup back in December.

Arsene Wenger's side face the Clarets in the same stage of the FA Cup this weekend with Ramsey looking to emulate his run to the final with Cardiff last year.

He said: "Of course it would be really nice to have another Cup run after last year.

"We are at home again against Burnley and we know all about them after they knocked us out of the League Cup. I've watched them a few times this season and they are doing really well. They are not just a cup team, they've done well in the League as well so they will come to Emirates full of confidence.

"But if we can repeat our performance against Cardiff in the previous round, we will come through it to reach the next round.

"Obviously I got all the way to the final last year with Cardiff and playing at Wembley was a very special day for me. It would be great if I could go back there this year with Arsenal."

Manager Arsene Wenger is likely to shuffle the pack for the visit of Owen Coyle's team following Tuesday's 3-1 victory over West Brom.

Ramsey came on as a late substitute at The Hawthorns but he is likely to start this weekend. "You would want to play all the games if possible but I am realistic," said the Welshman, who joined the Gunners last summer for £5million.

"I'm only 18, I know I have quite a bit still to learn yet so I am being patient and just want to take my chance whenever I get it."

Meanwhile, Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has told Wenger he is ready to make a return to the squad for Sunday's FA Cup tie.

Walcott believes he is fully fit after nearly four months out with a shoulder injury, although the Gunners boss will wait until the end of the week before making a decision on whether to give him an immediate return.
