Aston Villa Set to Face Arsenal in Highly Anticipated Premier League Match
Aston Villa and Arsenal are gearing up for their second Premier League game of the season, following confident wins over West Ham United and Wolverhampton respectively in their opening matches. Despite securing a highly successful fourth place in the table last season, Villa has experienced the departure of key players, raising questions over whether they can repeat the feat this season.
However, Villa did manage to replace Douglas Luiz with Amadou Onana from Everton in a £50million record signing, with the defensive midfielder netting on his debut against West Ham on the opening weekend. Unai Emery’s next test comes in the shape of his former club Arsenal, who beat Wolves 2-0 with relative ease last weekend, thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
