Arsenal, fresh off a season-opening win, travel to Villa Park on Saturday, August 24th to face Aston Villa in a Premier League showdown. Mikel Arteta’s side, currently sitting in second place with three points, will be aiming to maintain their early momentum against a revitalized Villa side.

Here’s a predicted lineup for Arsenal’s trip to the West Midlands, based on recent performances and squad availability:

Formation: 4-3-3

Starting XI:

Goalkeeper: David Raya
Defense: Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko
Midfield: Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard
Attack: Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard

Arteta is likely to field a strong starting lineup, with new signing Declan Rice slotted into the midfield alongside Thomas Partey and captain Martin Odegaard. The attacking trio of Saka, Havertz, and Trossard provides a potent blend of pace, creativity, and goalscoring threat.

In defense, the familiar partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes is expected to lead the line, while Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko provide width and support. David Raya will start between the sticks, aiming to maintain a clean sheet after his impressive debut performance against Nottingham Forest.

With a tough fixture list ahead, Arsenal will be looking to build on their opening win and secure a positive result against Aston Villa. The match promises to be an intriguing encounter between two teams with ambitions for the upcoming season.
