Arsenal take on Aston Villa in the Premier League, as they look to avenge what Mikel Arteta described as a “cruel” defeat to Unai Emery’s team. There is plenty at stake after several painful results against the West Midlands team.
If the Gunners are to maintain their league-leading status, it is thought this game is no doubt a must-win affair. Manchester City are close behind, while Emery too is looking to solidify their own hopes of a shock challenge into the New Year.
A win here would be a serious statement for Mikel Arteta, who could welcome back further previously injured stars to his side. While he has a decision to make upfront with both Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus looking to start.
