Arsenal v Aston Villa live: Latest score and updates from Premier League

Arsenal host Aston Villa in a meeting of Premier League title challengers as Mikel Arteta ’s side bid for revenge and look to snap the 11-game winning run of Unai Emery ’s visitors.

Villa’s dramatic 2-1 win at Chelsea on Saturday means they arrive at the Emirates just three points behind the Premier League leaders - having defeated the Gunners just a few weeks ago thanks to a last-gasp Emi Buendia strike at Villa Park.

Arsenal came through a 2-1 win over Brighton to maintain their advantage but Arteta was left concerned as Riccardo Calafiori added to their list of defensive absentees . Now there are rumours that Declan Rice also injured himself against Brighton and may be forced to miss tonight’s clash, adding to the list of concerns. There is at least hope, however, that the returning Gabriel Magalhaes could start after appearing from the bench against the Seagulls.

Under former Arsenal boss Emery, Villa have enjoyed a good record at the Emirates, winning here two season ago before coming from two goals down to draw 2-2 last year.
