Arsenal XI vs Aston Villa: Latest team news, predicted lineup and injury list

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is expected to name the same team that won at Old Trafford for today’s clash against Aston Villa.

The Gunners made nine changes for Thursday’s win against Molde in the Europa League, with youngsters such as Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock handed a start.

But Arteta is likely to revert back to a full-strength side for the visit of Aston Villa, with the XI he picked to start at Old Trafford expected to play.

Defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and Rob Holding were given a rest on Thursday night, while Kieran Tierney only played the final 10 minutes.

In midfield, Thomas Partey was rested too but he should come in along with Mohamed Elneny – who was impressive at Old Trafford.

In attack, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will captain the side after getting the night off against Molde too.

Arsenal predicted line-up (3-4-3): Leno; Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Bellerin, Elneny, Partey, Saka; Willian, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Venue: Emirates Stadium, Sunday at 7.15pm

TV: Sky Sports Box Office

Referee: Martin Atkinson

Arsenal squad from: Leno, Macey, Runarsson; Bellerin, Cedric, Gabriel, Holding, Kolasinac, Luiz, Mustafi, Saliba, Tierney; Ceballos, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Partey, Saka, Smith Rowe, Willock, Xhaka; Aubameyang, Nketiah, Lacazette, Pepe and Willian

Doubts: Chambers (knee) and Nelson (knee)
