Arsenal will look to build on their encouraging north London derby victory when they face Aston Villa next in the Premier League today.
Mikel Arteta’s side got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Tottenham on Wednesday to end their three-game winless run in all competitions.
Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures the Gunners were just four points off league leaders Liverpool, who are currently playing Brentford, but they’re taking on a tough Villa side who will move into the top five with a win.
Arsenal are in the midst of an injury crisis to their front-line, with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Ethan Nwaneri all sidelined, meaning the under-fire Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz should have another chance in the starting XI.
