Aston Villa, meanwhile, have undergone significant changes to their squad. The club have seen several key players depart during the ongoing transition, including English star Morgan Rogers, who has moved to Chelsea.

Villa have also parted ways with Ollie Watkins and goalkeeper Emi Martinez. The defensive unit has suffered further changes, with Eric Konsa and Lucas Digne also leaving the club, while Youri Tielemans has departed as well.

With several established names no longer part of the squad, Aston Villa face a major challenge against an Arsenal side that has started the season strongly. However, playing at home could give Villa the confidence to test Arteta’s men and potentially disrupt their early-season momentum.
