Thomas Partey

Premier League side Arsenal will be desperate against Aston Villa when both sides meet at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal lost to Liverpool and Manchester City recently, so they face a tough test with another highly rated side in Leicester. Their recent 2-1 win over Sheffield United at home will give them the confidence to take on Brendan Rodgers’ side.

While the manager’s approval rating is very high considering his achievements with the team in such a short time, Mikel Arteta would need to keep the morale and expectations high. The north London side had to dig deep to get past their recent Europa League opponent Rapid Vienna. They had some players rested or injured but the staff strength for the day should have covered all bases
