Arsenal vs Aston Villa Confirmed Lineups for December 30

These are the confirmed lineups for Arsenal vs Aston Villa at the Emirates. The Gunners have enjoyed a memorable first half of the 2025/26 season. They have only lost twice in all competitions this season. Villa, alongside Manchester City, remain hot on their heels. Can Mikel Arteta’s team maintain their lead at the top of the league, or can Unai Emery’s team continue their impressive form and gain a huge three points in North London?

Villa have been in impressive form this season, beating Arsenal and Chelsea in recent months. Their quality has shone through this season, but with the man management of Emery, they have a great opportunity to have a memorable season.
