The Gunners take to Birmingham in the early Saturday kick-off, but a number of Mikel Arteta’s men are doubts for the trip.

Speaking on Friday, the Spaniard said he was unsure whether Declan Rice, Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba, or Leandro Trossard would be fit to feature.

The door is ajar, then, for Unai Emery’s men to nick a win while the Gunners are not quite at full strength.

Things are not so rosy for the hosts, though. Emi Martinez could stand to miss the match after he pulled out of the lineup to face Brighton with a back problem.

Villa overcame his absence to eke out a narrow 4-3 victory at the AmEx Community Stadium, with Ollie Watkins’ brace ultimately making the difference.
