Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Aston Villa

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Arsenal.

Arsenal's penultimate match of their 2019-20 Premier League season sees them travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa on Tuesday night.

The Gunners have picked up two big results in their last two games, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Premier League on July 15 before booking their spot in the FA Cup final courtesy of a 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday.

Arsenal's league season ends with games against Villa and Watford, while they will face either Chelsea or Manchester United in the final of the FA Cup at the start of next month.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the London club's latest injury and suspension news ahead of a trip to Villa Park, where they have won on their last three league visits.
