The relentless three-horse Premier League title race takes its latest twists and turns this weekend as high-flying Aston Villa arrive at Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
We have beaten Villa in five of the last six home meetings, and improving that record will be essential if we’re to remain on top of the table going into the final six matches of the campaign. However, the ask is much tougher this campaign this Villa side is easily their best in the past 15 years.
Unai Emery’s side will be eying a league double at our expense to keep their dreams of participating in the Champions League for the first time alive, while we’ll turn our focus from our battles with Bayern Munich to ensure we remain at the front of the Premier League pack and continue to fight on both fronts.
