Leandro Trossard had cancelled out Matty Cash's opener to level for Arsenal, but Emi Buendia scored in stoppage-time to condemn the Gunners to a rare loss and one that stopped them from moving eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

• Cristhian Mosquera ruled out for 'weeks': The former Valencia man suffered an injury during Arsenal's win against Brentford in midweek, and that forced him to miss the trip to Villa Park. Speaking post-Villa, Arteta said of Mosquera: "He's going to be out for weeks. Unfortunately, it's much more than what we expected, the way he was feeling. He's going to be out for weeks."

• William Saliba closing in on return: William Saliba sustained a knock before Arsenal's 1-1 draw against Chelsea last month and is still yet to return for Arteta's side. However, he could be in contention for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Club Brugge.

• Kai Havertz still waiting in the wings: The German has missed out on the action since August as a result of undergoing knee surgery. He's also not expected to return until later this month.
