"Starting with the hosts, putting in another gritty performance over the weekend as they secured a 2-1 victory at home against Brighton, Arsenal find themselves sat in the driving seat to clinch a first Premier League crown since way back in 2004. Opening up Tuesday's showdown in north London holding a two-point buffer over the chasing pack, Mikel Arteta's men will be looking to make a heavyweight statement here."
"Suffering an injury setback last month, Arsenal will once again be without German international Kai Havertz on Tuesday night. Likewise, not featuring over the past month, summer recruit Cristhian Mosquera is still dealing with an ankle issue and remains a doubt. However, coming off the bench over the weekend and featuring for the first time since returning from November's international break, defensive talisman Gabriel Magalhaes could get some more minutes under his belt."
Arsenal host Aston Villa with Arsenal holding a two-point lead and aiming for their first Premier League title since 2004. Arsenal defeated Brighton 2-1 and have won five consecutive matches across all competitions, while also reaching the EFL Cup semi-finals. Kai Havertz remains sidelined and Cristhian Mosquera is doubtful with an ankle issue. Gabriel Magalhaes returned from the bench and could play more minutes, and Martin Odegaard should retain his starting place after scoring against Brighton. Aston Villa recovered from a stuttering start and have mounted a record-breaking resurgence under Unai Emery.
