Arsenal XI vs Aston Villa: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today
Gunners will hope Declan Rice, William Saliba and Leandro Trossard can all return in lunchtime showdown
Concerns: Mikel Arteta could be without several key Arsenal players for their clash with Aston Villa
The England midfielder was forced off late on during the 2-0 win over Brentford on Wednesday night with a calf problem.
Rice said after the game that he was “fine”, though Mikel Arteta will make a late call on his involvement this weekend.
“Well, let’s see,” the Arsenal boss said on Friday. “I think with all the questions I am going to get, the answer unfortunately is going to be the same.
“We have another training session in the afternoon. Every hour is going to be very important to see the availability. So, after that, we will decide who travels.”
Arsenal will definitely be without both Gabriel (thigh) and Kai Havertz (knee) for their trip to Villa Park, and have a number of other injury doubts.
Cristhian Mosquera is nursing an ankle problem and needs to undergo further tests after limping off in the first half against Brentford.
“That is the one that is more complicated,” said Arteta, when asked about Mosquera on Friday. “But, again, we have another test today to see where we are with him.”
Quizzed on if Mosquera’s injury could be serious, Arteta responded: “No. We need to know, because the feeling that we had after the game and yesterday, we need to corroborate with what happens with other testing that we do today.”
Subsequent reports have emerged claiming there are fears that Mosquera could be missing for up to six weeks.

Arsenal were also without Leandro Trossard and William Saliba against Brentford due to injury.
Saliba has missed the last two games after picking up a knock in training ahead of the draw at Chelsea last weekend. Trossard suffered a calf issue during the Champions League victory against Bayern Munich and has not played since.
Arteta has hinted they could both be fit to face Villa, though.
“It is a matter of days with those two, for sure,” he said. “After the training session, we will know more
Arteta also said that Martin Odegaard is ready to start two games in a week. The Arsenal captain has been hit by injuries season, struggling with shoulder issues and a knee problem.
However, he started his first game in two months on Wednesday night and managed the full 90 minutes. Arteta has hinted that Odegaard could keep his place when Arsenal travel to Villa.
“I think he’s certainly capable of doing that once the injury is resolved,” said Arteta, when asked if Odegaard could play twice in a week.
“I mean, you see his stats, what he did in midweek after six, seven weeks out. It’s incredible.
“So we just have another player, another top player that gives us a lot, gives us something different to what we have in those positions. So I’m very happy to have him. “
Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Martinelli
Doubts: Mosquera (ankle), Rice (calf), Saliba (knock) and Trossard (calf)
Injured: Gabriel (thigh) and Havertz (knee)

Arsenal predicted XI
Here’s a preview of Arsenal vs Wolves (Premier League — 13 Dec 2025) with head-to-head context plus the most credible predicted starting XIs based on latest team news & reports:
🔎 Head-to-Head Context
Arsenal have dominated this fixture recently — winning their last eight league meetings and keeping multiple clean sheets.
Wolves are struggling this season, with a long run of losses and one of the weakest goalscoring records in the division.
—
🔮 Predicted Line-Ups (Probable Starting XIs)
📍 Arsenal – Likely 4-3-3
Formation: 4-3-3
GK: David Raya
Defence: Ben White, Piero Hincapié, Jurrien Timber, Myles Lewis-Skelly
Midfield: Martin Ødegaard, Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi
Attack: Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres
➡️ Notes: Timber is expected to return in defence; Riccardo Calafiori is suspended, and players like William Saliba and Trossard remain doubtful/injured.
Tactical Outlook: Arsenal will likely set up with control in midfield (Rice, Ødegaard) and pace in wide areas (Saka, Eze), looking to exploit Wolves on transitions.
—
⚽ Wolves – Likely 3-5-2 / 3-4-2-1
Formation: 3-5-2 (or slight variation)
GK: Sam Johnstone
Defence: Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Toti Gomes, David Møller Wolfe
Midfield: Ki-Jana Hoever, André, Ladislav Krejčí, David Moeller Wolfe, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde
Attack: John Arias, Jørgen Strand Larsen
➡️ Notes: Wolves could be without some players through injury or suspension; attacking threat is likely to come from Larsen and Arias with support from wing-midfield.
Tactical Outlook: Wolves may look to stay compact and hit on the break, but recent form suggests limited offensive output.

🧠 Key Tactics & Match-Up Themes
🔥 Arsenal
Expected to control possession and build through midfield.
Creative influence from Ødegaard and Eze to unlock the Wolves defence.
Saka and Gyokeres/attackers aim to exploit spaces behind a deep Wolves backline.
❗ Wolves
Likely to sit deeper and rely on quick transitions.
Defensive solidity will be key, but scoring opportunities are expected to be limited against Arsenal’s strong defensive record.
—
📊 Summary Prediction
Most previews favor an Arsenal home win, given the recent head-to-head dominance and Wolves’ ongoing struggles. Arsenal’s defensive stability and attacking variety make them strong favorites.

Arsenal predicted XI
Here’s a preview — predicted lineups and head-to-head — ahead of the Arsenal vs Club Brugge clash
Here’s a preview — predicted lineups and head-to-head — ahead of the Arsenal vs Club Brugge clash.
–
🔎 Head-to-Head / Context
According to recent sources, this will be the first competitive meeting between Arsenal and Club Brugge.
Historically, Club Brugge have struggled against English clubs, having won just 1 of their previous 18 encounters with English opponents (with many draws and losses).
In this season’s group stage: Arsenal are flying — undefeated (5 wins), with a strong goalscoring record and only 1 conceded.
Conversely, Club Brugge have had a rocky time: several losses in their last matches and defensive frailties shown in the Champions League.
Bottom line: given form, history, and squad strength — Arsenal go into this as clear favourites.
—
🧑🤝🧑 Likely / Predicted Lineups
Here are the lineups most media expect for this match. Keep in mind injuries and rotation could affect final XI.
Club Brugge (likely 4-2-3-1)
GK: Van den Heuvel
Defence: Hugo Siquet, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Joaquín Seys
Midfield (double-pivot): Aleksandar Stanković, Raphael Onyedika
Attack-mid trio / wingers: Carløs Forbs, Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis
Striker: Nicolò Tresoldi
Arsenal (likely 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1 depending on rotation)
GK: David Raya
Defence: Ben White, Jurriën Timber, Piero Hincapié, Myles Lewis-Skelly
Midfield: Martín Ødegaard, Martín Zubimendi, Declan Rice (or Mikel Merino, depending on rotation)
Attack (front three): Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and either Viktor Gyokeres or a rotated / alternate forward depending on fitness decisions.
One preview goes even further — projecting Saka, Martinelli and Merino in advanced roles behind Gyokeres, as part of a rotated refresh given recent heavy fixture load.
—
✅ What It Means & What to Watch
Arsenal entering with full confidence: form, defence, and squad depth suggest they can dominate.
Club Brugge — though at home — may struggle defensively if Arsenal exploit spaces; their double-pivot may need to be compact.
Key duel: Arsenal’s attacking pace & wing play (especially Saka / Martinelli) vs Brugge’s full-backs + recovery speed.
Potential for rotation: Arsenal could rotate some midfield/attack given fixture congestion — meaning we might see some surprises in final lineup.
