21:15 Cairo local time | 14:15 ET Canada-USA
Venue: Emirates Stadium (London)

Referee: Martin Atkinson

Arsenal come into this game with great confidence off the back of their first win at Old Trafford since 2006. In contrast to this, Villa have lost their second game of the season in back-to-back losses and they have shown signs of fragility in defence especially.

Their fairy tale start to the season is starting to come to an end, and Arsenal will look to take advantage of this drop in form come Sunday. Goals are on the cards once again and the hosts have to be favoured in a match which could easily see goals at both ends of the pitch.

Arsenal have won each of their previous three home matches in the league against Villa by an aggregate of 12-2.

Aston Villa, who have surprised many with some remarkable performances, are in fact the only side yet to concede away from home this term. They’ll be preparing to return to winning ways after having lost their last two outings.

Arsenal are still without long-term absentees Pablo Mari and Gabriel Martinelli, while Reiss Nelson and Calum Chambers continue to work their way back to full fitness.

Arteta will have the luxury of recalling his best players in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Thomas Partey after they were rested in the 4-1 triumph over Molde.

Injured: Pablo Mari, Gabriel Martinelli

Doubtful: Calum Chambers, Reiss Nelson

Dean Smith earlier confirmed that striker Bertrand Traore has picked up an injury and is ruled out. He said:

“Bertrand came off and he’ll be struggling for Sunday, he won’t make it. He’ll definitely be back after the international break.”

Tom Heaton is nearing complete match fitness, implying that he could feature for Villa after the international break following a few games with the under-23s. Wesley is still sidelined with a knee injury.

Injured: Wesley, Bertrand Traore
