Premier League Team News: Aston Villa v Arsenal

Arsenal have made six changes to the team for tonight's Premier League clash at Villa Park.

Dean Smith sticks with the same Aston Villa side which started the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park last Thursday.

Jack Grealish has been given the captain's armband once again. Given the speculation about his future, could this be his last game in at Villa Park in claret and blue?

Manchester City are inflicting such damage on Watford currently that the game could take even greater significance. Should Watford lose by five or more they will have a worse Premier League goal difference than Aston Villa.

Arsenal meanwhile have made six changes to their side.

The Gunners booked an FA Cup final place by beating Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday. Manager Mikel Arteta has called upon Lucas Torreira, Rob Holding, Cedric Soares, Eddie Nketiah, Sead Kolasinac and 18-year-old Bukayo Saka.

Granit Xhaka and Nicolas Pepe are among those who drop to the bench.

A win for Arsenal would see them leapfrog Sheffield United into eighth in the table,  place behind North London rivals Tottenham.
