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.

Arsenal face another tough test in the Premier League when Aston Villa and Unai Emery visit the Emirates Stadium.

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.

Raheem Sterling was drafted into the starting line-up against Tottenham but struggled to impress out wide. He will surely be replaced by Gabriel Martinelli, who has proven himself as a better fit on the right flank.

After an emotional victory over North London rivals Tottenham midweek, Arsenal look to build on that success with a visit to Aston Villa on Saturday.
