Arsenal travel to Villa Park today to take on Aston Villa in a crucial Premier League clash.
This is the first time in nearly six months that Mikel Arteta’s side go into a matchday outside of the top spot having relinquished their place at the top of the pile on Wednesday. Manchester City now lead the league on goal difference after securing a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium, although the Gunners do have a game in hand on their title rivals.
Next up for the north London outfit is a game against former Arsenal boss Unai Emery, who now manages Villa. Ahead of the highly-anticipated matchup, football.london takes a look at three different ways that Arteta could set his team up this afternoon.
