The expected confrontation in round 32 of the Premier League will take place tonight.
Question mark for left-back position
In recent weeks, Jakub Kiwior has taken on this role and completed his assigned tasks quite well. However, when facing Leroy Sane in midweek, he encountered countless difficulties and had to give way to Oleksandr Zinchenko as soon as the first half ended.
In the upcoming encounter with Aston Villa, the Gunners will also have to face a big challenge because Leon Bailey also possesses speed and the ability to create impressive mutations.
The 26-year-old striker has performed many solo performances this season. Besides, Bailey is also highly appreciated for his accurate finishing shots. This season, he has 12 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.
Therefore, once the former Leverkusen player gets past, Arsenal’s goal will be in great danger. And Arteta needs to arrange a truly reputable plan to contain this name.
If Kiwior regains his form, the Polish star could absolutely be given a chance. Besides, Arteta still has a reputable choice named Takehiro Tomiyasu, when the cherry-picked player has recovered from his injury.
Mission must win
With Manchester City winning a devastating victory over Luton Town, Arsenal was forced to do the same against Aston Villa to ensure their autonomy in the championship race did not slip out of their hands.
At the current stage, any stumble could cost the Gunners the entire season. Furthermore, an unfavorable result will also have a significant impact on the psychology of the young stars, and make their trip to the Allianz Arena in midweek increasingly difficult.
After a long period of effort, now is the time for Arsenal to maintain their form to prove that they completely deserve to become the new EPL king.
Villa’s top 4 dream
After Tottenham’s weak loss to Newcastle United, things are becoming easier for Unai Emery and his team as they take 4th place on the rankings, but remember that Villa is currently only better than Spurs in terms of extra difference.
As in the case of Arsenal, Villa must win all remaining matches if they want to ensure a ticket to the Champions League next season. Therefore, they will show high determination in the upcoming trip to the Emirates.
According to statistics, Villa has the 4th best attack in the Premier League, so they will definitely create a lot of trouble for Arsenal’s defense.
The Gunners are playing stably but not without weaknesses. Psychological sublimation can become a double-edged sword for them. A youthful team when “excessive” will push everything beyond the limit, and like in the match against Bayern, they had to pay the price for that.
If Villa seizes the opportunity, they can completely create an earthquake right in Arsenal’s holy land.
