Arsenal is set to take on Aston Villa in a crucial Premier League clash at Emirates Stadium as former Arsenal manager Unai Emery returns to face his former club with Villa.

Mikel Arteta, the current Arsenal manager, spoke highly of the progress Aston Villa has made under Emery’s leadership, acknowledging the impact he has had on the team’s performance since taking over.

Emery, who completed 1,000 matches as a manager, has steered Villa to remarkable achievements, including a seventh-place finish last season and their current fifth position in the Premier League standings.

Arteta also highlighted the need for Arsenal to stay focused amidst the intense title race with Liverpool and Manchester City, emphasizing the importance of taking each game as it comes without losing sight of their ultimate goal.

Ollie Watkins, Villa’s standout striker, poses a threat to Arsenal’s defense with his impressive tally of 28 goal contributions in the league, just one goal shy of matching the club record set by Christian Benteke.

While Arsenal boasts a formidable defense led by William Saliba and Gabriel, who have kept the most clean sheets in the league, Aston Villa will look to capitalize on Watkins’ attacking prowess to secure a positive result at Emirates Stadium.

Despite the absence of players like Douglas Luiz and ongoing injury concerns for key players such as Tyrone Mings, Jacob Ramsey, and Emi Buendia, Villa remains determined to challenge Arsenal and potentially upset the league leaders on their home turf.

With Liverpool and Manchester City hot on Arsenal’s heels in the title race, Sunday’s clash between Arsenal and Aston Villa promises to be a thrilling battle as both teams aim to secure crucial points in their quest for Premier League glory.
