Arsenal begin their away campaign as champions, and they could hardly have asked for a smoother start to the defence.
Mikel Arteta’s side opened with a 3-0 win over Coventry City at the Emirates, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard all scoring from open play.
Six goals scored and none conceded across their opening two outings tells its own story. Monday marks Arteta’s 250th Premier League game in charge.
Ezri Konsa could make his debut against his former club after a £55m move, though a place on the bench looks more likely. Jurrien Timber is out with a groin issue and William Saliba remains a long-term absentee.
Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus may both be left out with their futures unresolved.
Villa could not have had a worse opening, beaten 4-0 at Brighton with all the damage done inside 31 minutes and Joao Gomes sent off on his debut.
Unai Emery has responded in the transfer market, bringing in Leon Goretzka and Nicolas Jackson, with both registered in time to feature here after Ollie Watkins departed for Saudi Arabia.
Gomes starts a three-match ban and Amadou Onana is a long-term absentee with a knee problem.
Villa Park has been awkward for visiting champions lately. The hosts have won their last three home league games against the reigning title holders, and Emiliano Buendia’s late winner settled this fixture there last season.
