Arsenal faces Aston Villa at Villa Park after contrasting season starts
Arsenal and Aston Villa are set to face each other in a Premier League match at Villa Park following contrasting starts to the season. Arsenal enters the fixture after a 3-0 victory over Coventry City, while Aston Villa is looking to recover from a heavy 4-0 defeat against Brighton.
Aston Villa faces significant squad challenges ahead of the match. Striker Tammy Abraham is likely to miss the game due to injury and a potential loan move to Ipswich Town. Additionally, Joao Gomes is suspended following a red card in the opening match, and players like Amadou Onana and Leon Bailey remain sidelined with long-term injuries.
