Arsenal are looking to bounce back with a win against Unai Emery's Aston Villa side at the weekend after picking up one point in their last three Premier League fixtures. The Gunners have lost against Everton and Manchester City along with drawing against Brentford, despite a controversial VAR error seeing them drop points against the Bees.
Following the 3-1 loss against City which saw Pep Guardiola's side move top of the league due to their superior goal difference, Mikel Arteta admitted he has more belief that his players can go on to win the title come the end of the season. Defensive errors cost his team the chance of extending their lead in the title race against City on a disappointing night at the Emirates Stadium.
Thomas Partey was ruled out of the clash against the Manchester outfit on Wednesday as a precaution with the midfielder suffering from a tight muscle. Despite his absence, his injury is not thought to be serious and Jorginho put in a solid performance on his full home debut since signing from Chelsea in the January transfer window after completing a £12million move.
