Welcome to SunSport’s coverage of Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Arsenal welcome Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa to the Emirates as they look to reclaim their place at the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners went toe-to-toe with German champions Bayern Munich on Tuesday, and the return leg could be on their minds as Villa visit the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta’s men need to win in Germany after drawing 2-2 but their clash with Villa is arguably even more important, as they cannot afford to drop points in a thrilling title race.
Rivals Manchester City and Liverpool face easier opposition in Luton and Crystal Palace, though Arsenal’s confidence is sky-high after losing just one of their last 15 matches.
The north London outfit have picked up 31 points from a possible 33 and a number of stars are beginning to hit top form, like Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard.
However it was Villa who came out on top in their previous meeting this season, with John McGinn scoring the only goal of the game in the seventh minute.
Unai Emery got the better of his previous side on that occasion and will be looking to provide a sting in the tail again as Villa chase Champions League qualification.
