18-year-old remains in Arsenal defence
GK – David Raya – The Spaniard was unable to keep a clean sheet against Spurs, he will hope for a quieter day against Villa.
LB – Myles Lewis-Skelly – 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly played well against Spurs, and he could be set to keep his place in the starting XI.
CB – Gabriel – Gabriel thought he’d scored Arsenal’s equaliser against Spurs, but it actually came off Dominic Solanke for an own goal.
CB – Wiliam Saliba – The Frenchman returns to play alongside Gabriel in one of the most successful centre-back duos in the Premier League.
RB – Jurrien Timber – Timber should be in line to start again this weekend as he has cemented his place at full-back.
