The Premier League leaders have the chance to kick off the Premier League weekend with another significant triumph when they take on Aston Villa in the West Midlands.

Gunners supporters have resented Unai Emery’s Villans for the role they played in compromising their title dream two seasons ago, with the former Arsenal boss overseeing two victories in their head-to-head duels that helped Manchester City to the title.

And the hosts head into Saturday’s game in excellent form. Wednesday night’s topsy-turvy 4–3 win over Brighton & Hove Albion was their fourth on the bounce in the top flight, and they’re now just six points behind their upcoming opponents.

A win for the Gunners will see them extend their lead at the summit to eight points before the rest of the weekend’s action gets underway, but a triumph for Emery’s men will undoubtedly lead to talk of the Villans, who started the season as the Premier League’s ’crisis’ team, emerging as unlikely title challengers.

There’s plenty riding on Saturday’s lunchtime clash, and here’s how you can tune into the game around the world.
