Arsenal are back in action on Saturday as they look to put an end to their recent run of poor form against Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta is desperate for a win against Villa in Saturday’s early kick-off after Manchester City claimed top spot with their win 3-1 in north London on Wednesday. The Gunners are second on goal difference going into the clash with ex-manager Unai Emery but do have a game in hand on City.
Arsenal have now gone four games in all competitions without a win, but can return to first place and put the pressure back on City with a win in Birmingham. Arteta has fitness concerns for the match which comes after a short turnaround.
