AVL 0-0 ARS Live Score, English Premier League: Can Gunners Breach Villa Fortress? Check Playing XIs

Bukayo Saka puts Eberchi Eze through for a goal but the latter has been shown the offside flag. Eze has been instrumental for the Gunners since joining the club from Crystal Palace earlier this year in the summer transfer window.

Ollie Watkins allows the ball to go out for a goal kick as he takes too long to get the first touch on a well-weighted pass

Brilliant skills from Ollie Watkins but an even better save by David Raya. John McGinn played him in and Watkins was exquisite with his footwork as he shimmies past a couple of Arsenal defenders before taking a left-footed attempt, forcing Raya to lash on it.

Martin Odeegard has a go but it's straight into the gloves of Emi Martinez, who dramatically dived to catch the ball.

We are underway at the Villa Park for league leaders Arsenal's clash against third-placed Aston Villa. The Gunners (in white) start from right to left and Villa (in purple) are playing from left to right in the first half.

Unai Emery's began their season with 6 games without a win, but the Villans have turned it all around in their last 9 matches, where they have won on 8 occasions, which includes 1-0 victory over Manchester City back in October.
