Arsenal injuries and videos of past matches

by Bulldog Drummond

According to the Premier League injuries table Arsenal are now sitting on four injuries exactly the same number as Villa.

  • Reiss Nelson is still out with a muscular injury and no return date is set
  • Oleksandr Zinchenko is rated 50% for the match after suffering a knee injury
  • Mo Elneny has a hamstring injury and is out of contention.
  • Thomas Partey has a thigh injury and is unlikely to be available.

As for Aston Villa

  • Philippe Coutinho had cramp and was fatigued in the last match but should be available.
  • Cameron Archer has a hip injury and will face a late fitness test.
  • Tyrone Mings has a 75% chance of being available.
  • Diego Carlos Santos Silva has just had surgery and so is out of contention.

In the second half of last season (from 1 January onward), Villa played 20 league games and one FA Cup match winning just six games, beating Everton, Brighton, Southampton, Leeds, Norwich and Burnley.  Of those two went down, and the only one that was making a decent fight of its place in the league was Brighton and Hove Albion.

Additionally, we might note that since December 2008 Villa have played Arsenal 23 times but won only five times.

We have collected together quite a range of Arsenal v Villa videos as well…
