Arsenal are trying to chase down leaders Liverpool while Aston Villa are trying to stay in the Champions League race.

Leon Bailey is expected to return to the starting line-up, while Pau Torres, Ross Barkley, and John McGinn remain sidelined due to injuries. Diego Carlos’s availability is still uncertain, but goalkeeper Emi Martinez has been declared fit to play.

This was the game that did it for Arsenal last season. They won 16 of their last 18 league games, but had one bad half against Aston Villa and the defeat cost them the title. That memory must still hurt but it might actually help Mikel Arteta's side focus on getting the job done this time.
