Get the latest updates on Aston Villa and Arsenal's team news, possible line-ups, and injury updates.
Today, all eyes are on Arsenal as they gear up for their Premier League clash against Aston Villa. The Gunners are hoping for a statement win on the road, after their impressive 2-0 victory against Wolves in their season opener last week. Goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka secured the win for Arsenal, setting the tone for what they hope to be a successful season.

Thankfully, Arsenal's squad is in good shape as they head to Villa Park. Jurrien Timber, who missed their final two pre-season games, has returned to action and even made an appearance as a substitute in last week's game. However, Takehiro Tomiyasu is still recovering from a knee injury and will not be available for a few more weeks. Similarly, Kieran Tierney is still out with a hamstring injury he sustained during Euro 2024.

In other news, midfielder Fabio Vieira is expected to return to Porto on a season-long loan. The 24-year-old struggled for playing time last season and is looking for more opportunities elsewhere. Additionally, Eddie Nketiah is close to sealing a £30m move to Nottingham Forest, as he looks for more regular game time.

As for the starting lineup, it is likely that Mikel Arteta will stick with the same XI that brought them success last week. However, there is a possibility that new signing Mikel Merino could make an appearance next week against Brighton. And while Arteta may opt for an unchanged lineup, there is always the option of bringing in players such as Leandro Trossard or Riccardo Calafiori, who are both fit and available.

Speaking of Calafiori, the 19-year-old left-back is eager to make his full league debut for Arsenal. He was among the substitutes last week, but with his fitness and ability, he could be a strong asset for the Gunners.

In terms of their defense, Arsenal boasts a strong partnership between William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães, who were recently named in the PFA Team of the Season alongside David Raya, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard. This solid backline will surely give Arsenal fans confidence heading into this match.

For those looking to tune in, the game will kick off at 5:30pm on Saturday and will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event. So be sure to tune in and support the Gunners as they aim for another victory.
