Arsenal Predicted Lineup vs. Aston Villa: Premier League | OneFootball

Arsenal look to make it two home wins in a row when Aston Villa and former manager, Unai Emery, come to town.

Arsenal bounced back after a disappointing FA Cup exit by defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby. The win cut the gap to Liverpool by two points and secured a league double over their heated rivals. Mikel Arteta continues to navigate a tricky injury situation with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus out. Not only that, but minutes are starting to pile up for Jurrien Timber in the wake of injuries to Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White.

A win would secure another league double over a difficult opponent after Arsenal defeating Villa in the reverse fixture back in August.

A name to watch heading into the game is Myles Lewis-Skelly. An Arsenal academy product, Lewis-Skelly continues to impress playing meaningful minutes for the Gunners this season. He should be in line for another start, but Arteta would be wise to manage his minutes.

Here's how Arsenal could set up against Aston Villa.
