Steven Gerrard's Villa Park revolution has been one of the stories of the season, with the former Rangers boss arriving to boost their fortunes and move them up to mid-table.
If he maintains his touch, the Midlands outfit could even be in the mix for Europe next year - but they still have a campaign to finish here and will be out to be a thorn in Arsenal's side.

Mikel Arteta's men were downed by Jurgen Klopp's title-chasing Reds last time out, but rather than consider it a setback, the Gunners will surely use the expected stumble to iron out their kinks.
They'll be ready to roar back to winning ways, and it looks likely that their hosts at Villa Park will be the target of their energetic response.
Predicted Arsenal starting XI: Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Lacazette.
