Arsenal predicted line-up vs Aston Villa as Thomas Partey faces late fitness test

Thomas Partey Arsenal Mikel Arteta Aston Villa Villa EPL Gabriel Martinelli Jorginho Leandro Trossard Ben White

Arsenal travel to Birmingham to take on Aston Villa in Saturday’s early kick-off looking to put a stop to their recent run of poor form.

The Gunners surrendered top spot in the Premier League on Wednesday as Manchester City landed a huge blow with a 3-1 win at Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta’s side have gone four games in all competitions without tasting victory but can regain first place with a result against Villa.

Arsenal had gone 13 games without defeat in the Premier League before their 1-0 reversal at Everton on February 4 and that result was followed by a 1-1 draw with Brentford and the damaging loss to City. They have scored just twice in their past three games and haven’t kept a clean sheet in four matches.
