Arsenal will switch their attention back to the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, with Aston Villa heading to the Emirates Stadium for an intriguing battle.

The Gunners will enter the contest off the back of a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final in North London.

Arsenal beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 in the league last weekend, and Mikel Arteta's side currently sit top of the table, ahead of second-placed Liverpool on goal difference.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the capital club's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Villa, who are fifth in the division, level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
