Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka is, perhaps unsurprisingly, going through good form. In fact, it’s getting to the point where we can just consider him a top-quality player and it’s not down to form. He fits into the Arsenal front-line well and I don’t doubt that he will have a good display against Aston Villa. Its Saka’s energy and creativity that makes him a desirable option for Arteta.

Now that he is back on goal scoring form, Aubameyang will be hungry for more. I must be honest, I was hesitatnt about Aubameyang since he signed the new deal but if his goal against United of all teams is anything to go by, he will start providing the goods for Arsenal again. The great thing about Aubameyang is that he can create goals out of nothing, so even if the Gunners are struggling to create, they can be safe in the knowledge a goal is coming.
Nicolas Pepe
Pepe appears to be in good goal scoring form lately, particularly in the Europa League. Arsenal fans will hope he can transform this form into the Premier League. As Arteta looks for width in his play, it makes the most logical sense to start Pepe. He is excellent at running at his opposition and his dribbling ability is second to none.
How do you think Arsenal will lineup against Aston Villa?
