All eyes will be on Dean Smith’s Aston Villa this weekend as they face Arsenal seeking to end a run of two consecutive defeats.
The Claret and Blue outfit had a superb start to the season, winning their first four four league games, but defeats to Leeds United and Southampton have seen them drop to eighth in the table.
The post-match reaction to the defeat against the high-flying Saints saw Smith come under some scrutiny, something that kicked off the week in terms of news coming out of Villa Park.
Other news also features a potential upcoming return for Brazilian striker Wesley, whilst calls have been made for Conor Hourihane to feature against the Gunners at the weekend.
Looking back over the start of the week’s biggest talking points, we have provided fans with a midweek update, so sit back and read some of the latest Villa stories.
