KICK off: 22 October 22:00
Team news: Arsenal continue to cope without Granit Xhaka for the next couple of months, while Bukayo Saka was taken off at half time against Palace after taking a nasty kick to the back of the leg from James McArthur, who was controversially only punished with a yellow card. Saka was “very sore” after the game, Arteta conceded, so a spot has opened up for Lacazette to earn a deserved start this weekend, with Aubameyang potentially shifting out to the left while Nicolas Pepe continues on the right. Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe could all hold their places in midfield if that is the case, with Albert Sambi Lokonga on the bench following his mistake for Palace’s second after Partey lost the ball for Benteke’s first on Monday. Villa duo Emiliano Martinez and Douglas Luiz both made the first XI against Wolves despite returning late from South America, while Matty Cash was forced off with a dead leg but should be fine for the Emirates trip. Doubts persist over attacking duo Leon Bailey and Bertrand Traore, though, while Morgan Sanson has returned to fitness to provide another option in midfield for Smith. Villa have experienced plenty of joy with a four-man defence against Arsenal in the past and may be tempted to revert to that setup here, although Smith will be reluctant to break up the Ings-Watkins partnership up top.
