Wednesday's North London derby win was a timely boost for the Gunners after disappointing cup defeats against Newcastle and Man Utd.

They came from behind against Tottenham, scoring twice on the eve of halftime to secure a victory worth much more than just the bragging rights.

The title race is on as Arsenal have closed the gap on league leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand, to four points after they were held at the City Ground on Tuesday night.

As if the hosts needed any extra motivation, next up is a Villa side that derailed their title challenge in 2023/24.

The visitors haven't been quite as devastating this season, but will arrive at the Emirates on the back of three wins on the bounce.

Unai Emery's side are up to seventh as a result, while they welcomed back both Emi Martínez, from injury, and Jhon Durán, from suspension, in Wednesday's win against Everton at Goodison Park, which ended a run of five straight away defeats in the Premier League.
