The Gunners head to Villa Park for a Monday meeting v league foe Aston Villa.
Arsenal is off to a good early season start, but will be tested by an Unai Emery club that was throttled on Match Day 1, 4-0, by Brighton and Hove Albion. However, you can never overlook an Emery-led squad when it comes to this fixture.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI for Mikel Arteta on Monday…
[4-3-3]
Tzolis, Havertz, Saka
Rice, Odegaard, Lewis-Skelly or Guimaraes
Calafiori, Gabriel, Mosquera, White
Raya
Predicted final score: Aston Villa 1 – ARSENAL 2

Fichajes in Spain is reporting Atletico Madrid is now interested in Gabriel Jesus before the transfer window closes in 4 days. Reports are also suggesting Barcelona could also try to grab the Brazilian.
On the Arsenal transfer bubble: Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Kepa, and possibly Viktor Gyokeres and Myles Lewis-Skelly
