Arsenal’s seven unbeaten streak ended in the match against Wolves. Now they will fight Aston Villa without the mainstay duo.
Jump To:
It’s still warm in the memory when Aston Villa crushed Arsenal 3-0 in the first half of the 2020/21 season.
At the second meeting, The Gunners must play without their flagship duo, David Luiz and Bernd Leno, after both of them were red carded during a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Of course this fact will be quite burdensome for the steps of the North London club in Week 23.
Meanwhile, Villa have the ambition to win a double win over Arsenal this season to repeat their brilliant record in the 1992/93 season.
Lineups of Players
ASTON VILLA (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Matthew Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Matt Targett; Marvelous Nakamba, John McGinn; Bertrand Traore, Ross Barkley, Ross Grealish (c); Ollie Watkins.

Preview
Villa could have lost against West Ham United last Wednesday, but the result does not represent how Dean Smith’s squad season is going.
The fact that they are above Arsenal by one point is proof that this team is still on the right track to push into the European zone.
The Hammers may succeed in handcuffing Jack Grealish, but not so Arsenal when they meet in the first half of this season. The talented British player has become a scourge in his own right for Mikel Arteta’s squad, and it is interesting how this time London Cannon will act to treat the player whom Manchester United have a crush on.
Unfortunately, Arsenal will face this weekend’s game without two important pillars: David Luiz and Bernd Leno, who each received a red card against Wolves. There is a discourse Arteta will return to implementing the three-defender system, but this tactic is seen as risky if you look at the first duel between the two teams.
Arsenal have also failed to score in their last two matches against Villa, although the first team have not lost three in a row in the league since 1993.
But Arsenal will be determined to return to winning ways after Wolves cut off their seven-game streak of defeat last Wednesday [M5, I2].
Prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Arsenal
