Exciting match on the program today between Arsenal and Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium, a meeting counting for the 22nd day of the Premier League. Winners of the North London Derby a few days ago against Tottenham (2-1), the Gunners are currently 2nd, victory is necessary today to maintain the pressure on Liverpool. Opposite, the Villans are 8th and can climb into the top 5 if successful. This match can be followed live with commentary on the French Football Weekly website.

In terms of team compositions, Mikel Arteta aligns a 4-3-3. Raya in goal, Partey and Lewis-Skelly on the sides, Gabriel is associated with Timber in the center. In the middle, Merino accompanies the indestructible Odegaard and Rice. Finally in attack, Trossard and Martinelli surround Havertz. For the visitors, a 4-2-3-1 is set up by Unai Emery. A very classic eleven with almost the typical team, Maatsen is preferred to Digne at the left-back position, Duran is unsurprisingly a replacement.
