Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says there'll be no underestimating Aston Villa.

The Gunners meet struggling Villa.

“I watch the Premier League teams and how physical [Villa] are," he said.

“Every game here is a battle for everybody, and we don't expect anything different. Villa are a top team, they have a big squad, top quality players and a good manager, and we expect a difficult game again here."

Arsenal beat Villa 1-0 in their last meeting in March, and Arteta added: “Obviously, since we played each other they haven't changed that much. We'll prepare as well as possible, but they're a really physical team with a lot of presence, who are really good at using the box and it will be tough."
