Arsenal 1-0 Aston Villa (half time)

It was technology to the rescue at the Emirates for once, as Martinelli's goal was allowed to count, even though Martinez seemed to scoop it off the line.

Earlier, Martinelli had a similar effort saved and Trossard went close to, with Arsenal employing a shoot-on-sight policy. Nevertheless, Martinez looked unlikely to concede, given his dominance in the box and shot-stopping agility.

At 1-0, the game is far from dead and buried. Villa look dangerous on the break and have already tested Raya and his makeshift defence. Although Timber has put in a sharp display in Saliba's absence at centre back, can he and Gabriel quell the threat of Watkins throughout?

We shall see!
