Arsenal has shown strong performance in the first half of the 2025/26 season, with only two losses across all tournaments. Recently, a draw with Chelsea and a defeat to Aston Villa raised concerns for the team. However, they bounced back by winning four matches and securing a penalty win against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. Mikel Arteta’s squad is preparing to face a competitive Aston Villa, and here is our predicted lineup for this Premier League match.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup & Team News vs Aston Villa
Recent Lineup for Arsenal
Arsenal is currently at the top of the Premier League, despite close competition from Manchester City and Aston Villa. In their last match against Brighton, they used their typical 4-3-3 formation. David Raya was in goal, with Declan Rice, William Saliba, Piero Hincapié, and Myles Lewis-Skelly in defense.
In the midfield, Arteta paired Mikel Merino, Martin Odegaard, and Martin Zubimendi. On the wings, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard supported striker Viktor Gyokeres.
Team News for Arsenal
Following the win over Brighton, Arteta provided updates on the fitness of Riccardo Califiori and Jurrien Timber, while also commending Declan Rice’s attitude:
“Yes, because there are injuries with Jurrien, who landed awkwardly, and something strange with Richy as well. But when you ask Declan to play as a right winger, he says, ‘OK, I’m ready for the challenge,’ and it’s great to see that attitude.”
Despite injury challenges this season, the squad’s unity is aiding their impressive performance.
