The Arsenal vs Liverpool – 0-0 – Player Ratings – Chance missed but it could have been worse
Arsenal missed the chance to go 8 points clear in the title race at home to Liverpool tonight after putting in a truly woeful performance, completely unfit for the occasion.

The Arsenal vs Aston Villa – 4-1 – Player Ratings – Doesn’t that feel better?!?
Wow!! What a result. Hands up, who saw this happening at half time?!?! I messaged someone at half time that I couldn’t see where the goals were coming from and this might not be our day to day (or words to that affect). I’m sitting down now and eating those words with relish as Arsenal…

The Arsenal vs Aston Villa – Premier League Preview – Shouldn’t need much motivating for this one!
Arsenal welcome Aston Villa to The Emirates this evening in what is largely being billed as Arsenal’s opportunity for revenge following the last gasp defeat at Villa Park, at the start of the month.
