Arsenal will look to build on their encouraging north London derby victory when they face Aston Villa next in the Premier League today. Mikel Arteta’s side got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Tottenham in midweek to end their three-game winless run in all competitions.

The Gunners have seen their strongest line-up significantly depleted by an injury crisis that has so far wiped out the likes of Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri, Takehri Tomiyasu – all of which are set to be out for some time.
