Arsenal Predicted XI vs Aston Villa: Mikel Arteta to be without injured Mustafi for trip to Villa Park

Defenders:

After playing with a back-four against City, we expect Arteta to adopt the same system at Villa Park. After facing criticism, David Luiz performed well in both games and will keep his place but Shkodran Mustafi will miss out after injuring his hamstring at Wembley. Rob Holding came on for the German and is expected to start this one. Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney should retain his place at left-back but Cedric Soares could come in for Hector Bellerin on the right.
