"Arsenal are undefeated since, winning five games in all competitions despite struggling to kill off opposition. They have attempted a combined 65 shots in their last three home outings against Wolves, Crystal Palace and Brighton, yet scored only five goals four of which were turned into their own net by opposition players. Asked whether his side were profiting from good fortune in the form of so many own-goals, Arteta said: Well, that's what we want that every opponent that comes here suffers."
"Arsenal looked to have secured a point in an even encounter at Villa Park when Leandro Trossard cancelled out Matty Cash's opener. But Buendia struck at the death to inflict only a second Premier League defeat of the season on Arteta's side. We'll watch it back, said Arteta. I have a few ideas and things that we have to do better. And it was quite cruel, as well, the way we lost it."
Arsenal want every visiting team to suffer at the Emirates and seek revenge for a 95th‑minute defeat by Aston Villa. Arsenal have been undefeated since that loss, winning five matches across competitions despite struggling to finish chances. The team recorded 65 shots across three recent home games but scored only five goals, four being own goals by opponents. Villa have won 11 successive matches, equalling a long-standing club record, and sit three points behind Arsenal. Arsenal will review the late loss, identify areas to improve, and attempt to convert motivation and hunger into better execution.
