Arsenal can regain top spot in the Premier League table with a win over Aston Villa at Villa Park this evening. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has made just one change from the side that sealed a dramatic 4-3 victory over Luton Town on Tuesday night. However, David Raya keeps his place in goal despite his poor display at Kenilworth Road. The Spaniard was at fault for two goals leading to some calling for Aaron Ramsdale’s return, but Arteta has kept faith with Raya between the sticks.

Thirty batters were dismissed by spinners as 36 wickets fell in the Test in just 178.1 overs of action – the third-lowest number of balls bowled in a Test (1069) for that many wickets to fall – and Southee felt the pitch was far too much in favour of bowlers, making it an uneven contest.”It is probably the worst wicket I’ve come across in my career,” Southee said. “The balance between bat and ball was heavily favoured into the bowler’s hands. I think for the match to be over in 170 overs sort of reflects that. So, for our guys…
