Arsenal team news: Expected 4-3-3 for Aston Villa as Arteta makes two changes from Man Utd

Forwards: Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Nicolas Pepe has scored in his last two Europa League matches so should be full of confidence.

Arteta needs to back the Ivory Coast international and a recently-leaky Villa defence could help his push for a start.

Alexandre Lacazette is likely to continue through the middle, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang making up the front three as he looks for his first home goal of the season.

Full expected Arsenal XI to play Aston Villa: Leno; Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney; Elneny, Partey, Saka; Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
