Unai Emery names advantage Arsenal have over Aston Villa

Aston Villa defeated Arsenal 1-0 in December. However, Unai Emery believes the Gunners are favourites this time at the Emirates.

“It’s different, completely different," he said.“We played at home here at Villa Park in December (compared to) the match we are going to play on Sunday.

“Something similar because there’s a lot of players again playing, fighting in those teams. But different because we’re playing at the Emirates, we’re playing as well in a different context, now they are fighting for the Premier League trophy.

“We’re fighting behind them trying to keep our fifth position we have now and fighting with Tottenham. Different as well because some players, of course, being injured are not going to play on Sunday.”
