Arsenal faces another major test of its title credentials today as it travels to an in-form Aston Villa side.
Mikel Arteta's side is the clear favorite to claim a first Premier League crown since 2004, but their job is far from done, even with a five-point lead at the top of the table. And today could well prove pivotal to their hopes of going all the way.
They take on a Villa side that has stormed its way into the top four after a slow start to the season, and could go within three points of its opponent today with a victory as Unai Emery looks to get one over on his old side.
