Arsenal have failed to pick up wins in their last three Premier League games and next up they welcome newly-promoted side Aston Villa to the Emirates.
The Gunners are currently seventh on the league table with 8 points but their confidence is at an all-time low especially after their embarrassing 2-2 draw vs Watford last weekend.
Villa though aren’t doing too good themselves as they are currently just one point off the relegation zone having lost three out of their previous five matches.
While Villa would be hoping to come out of the Emirates with a point but the Gunners will most certainly be on their toes this weekend in order to avoid a repeat of the Vicarage Road collapse.
