Arsenal will be facing Aston Villa at home on Sunday. The Gunners are second in the league table with 71 points with one game in hand. They have been in exceptional form in the ongoing season and are one of the favourites to win the English Premier League (EPL) as well. Mikel Arteta's side has been the most balanced in England scoring 75 goals and conceding only 24 which is the least this season.
Aston Villa are also in the top 4 as they seek to seal a spot in the UEFA Champions League, for the next season. Unai Emery's side have performed well in the season, they are currently placed in the 4th position with the same points as Tottenham Hotspur. Emery who has previously been the coach of the Gunners for one season and under him, the side played in the UEFA Europa League.
The head coach will be under huge pressure when he returns to Emirates on Sunday as his team will need a win to stay in the top 4 race for next season's UCL qualification. The 52-year-old has worked very well with Villa. The Lions will like to upset Arsenal's title hopes on Sunday.
Will Ollie Watkins trouble the Gunners?
Arteta's side after Sunday's important clash also has a game coming up on Wednesday when they face Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena for the 2nd leg of the UCL quarter-finals. With everything at stake for the semi-final spot after a 2-2 draw in the first leg. The side will be hoping to qualify for the last four after almost a decade. With the form Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Martin Odegaard are in they will be hoping to get through.
But ahead of the clash they need to focus on the weekend's clash at the Emirates. The battle between Saliba and Ollie Watkins will be the one to watch out for, as the Villa striker has been in great form scoring 18 goals and is two goals behind from being the leading goal scorer.
