Unai Emery shares concerns ahead of Arsenal vs Aston Villa clash, highlighting injury woes and Arsenal's formidable home record.
Arsenal's Must-Win Clash against Aston Villa
Arsenal is gearing up to face Aston Villa in a crucial Premier League fixture this Sunday evening. Amidst the anticipation surrounding this game, the perspective of Unai Emery, the former Arsenal manager, holds particular interest.
Emery's Perspective
Emery acknowledges that his team will be entering the match as underdogs, despite securing a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Villa Park. He emphasizes the challenge of facing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, where the hosts have maintained an unbeaten streak in their last seven games. Emery anticipates Arsenal's fervent pursuit of the league title to fuel their determination on the pitch. However, he expresses concern about fielding his strongest squad for the encounter.
Injury Woes for Villa
Several key players for Aston Villa, including Jacob Ramsey, Emi Buendia, Boubacar Kamara, Matty Cash, and Tyrone Mings, are reportedly sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Douglas Luiz, a target for Arsenal in the transfer market, is expected to miss the game following his recent suspension after accumulating his tenth red card of the season.
Emery reflects on the contrasting dynamics of the upcoming match compared to their previous encounter at Villa Park in December. While similarities exist in terms of player involvement and team competitiveness, the shift to the Emirates Stadium and the context of Arsenal's title aspirations add a new dimension to the fixture. The absence of key players due to injuries further complicates Villa's prospects for the match.
