After an emphatic run in the midweek Champions League game against Olympiacos, Arsenal will hope to continue the winning run when they face Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League.
Villa have been the worst side in the league this season and currently they only have 6 points from their 15 PL games. Goes without saying that the North Londoners will be favorites to earn all three points at the weekend.
As far as Arsenal’s team news is concerned, they have 7 key players out injured and as per PhysioRoom, the closest to returning are Alexis, Arteta and Wilshere (Expected return date: December 26).
The French boss is likely to make one change in the starting XI that faced the Greek giants in the midweek. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will probably return to the starting XI in place of compatriot Theo Walcott.
Other than that, there is no real need for Wenger to rest players and Villa cannot be taken lightly. Last weekend, relegation threatened sides Bournemouth and Newcastle defeat Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.
Hat-trick hero Giroud has scored in his last four games against Aston Villa. Can he make it five in a row? Here is Arsenal’s probable starting XI vs Villa.
