Arsenal and Aston Villa sign off the English Premier League on Sunday night ahead of the next international break.
It’s an opportunity for either side to press the pause button on a positive note, following an iffy couple of weeks for both despite their top half standing.
The Gunners had lost three of their previous four in the EPL when they headed north to face Manchester United last weekend.
But Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty ensured they came home from Old Trafford with a relieving three points.
Willian could missing out on a starting berth this Sunday, with Nicolas Pepe and Joe Willock pushing for a place in the side.
Calum Chambers, Gabriel Martinelli and Pablo Mari are ruled out by injury.
Fans of the Villans endured an agonizing time of it last weekend, as three second half goals still weren?t enough to prevent Southampton leaving Villa Park with a 4-3 success.
It made it back-to-back losses for the West Midlands club, who had upset the odds to win their first four fixtures of the new season.
Trezeguet could be in line for a start, while goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez makes a swift return to his former club between the sticks for the visitors.
