Premier League chasers Arsenal visit Aston Villa on Saturday in a bid to get back to winning ways.

The Gunners have now gone three league games without a win, with Manchester City leading the Premier League on goal difference.

On Saturday, Arsenal take on Villa and their former boss Unai Emery.

"It was a difficult moment for any coach coming in, to establish yourself," Emery told The Athletic in April 2022 of his time at Arsenal.

"Certain players who had been important, but were not any longer, found that difficult to understand. The fans also found it difficult to understand that there needed to be an evolution. Changes were needed, and I began those changes."

With Manchester City in action over the weekend as well, Arsenal know they must win if they want to stay in touch with the champions in the league table.
