Aston Villa will host Arsenal at the Villa Park in a Premier League game today.
Kick Off: 15:00 BST
Referee: Mike Jones
Venue: Villa Park
Stats:
- Arsenal have only managed to win a single game in their last five competitive games.
- Aston Villa are unbeaten in the Premier League campaign this season.
Aston Villa captain Ron Vlaar is doubtful for this clash due to calf injury. Belgian striker Christian Benteke has returned to training after being sidelined for five months with a ruptured Achilles. Libor Kozak is out with a leg injury but Joe Cole is likely to feature in this game as he has recovered his calf injury.
While for Arsenal, summer signing Calum Chambers and midfielder Mathieu Flamini are both available for the selection. Both missed the midweek Champions League game against Dortmund.
Nacho Monreal, Mathieu Debuch, Yaya Sanogo, Serge Gnabry, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud are set to miss this clash with their respective problems.
