A win will be the only thing on the agenda for Arsenal as they take on Unai Emery's Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta has claimed that most neutral fans would rather see his Arsenal side lift the Premier League title in May than “favourites” Manchester City.

“That is what we are looking to do. “What we can control is what we do. At the end of the day, come the end of May you're going to have to have a certain amount of points. “You have to do things consistently, at an extremely high level. “It's about what we do. “That I agree with,” he answered when asked if rival fans want to see Arsenal win the Premier League.

Arsenal dropped off the Premier League summit with Wednesdays 3-1 loss to Man City at Emirates Stadium; defeat extended winless run to three games and left ...

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ivan Toney physically dominated them for Everton and Brentford, and the same was true of Erling Haaland on Wednesday night. Arsenal's total of 16 line-up changes is the lowest in the division. At the other, a collective wavering of concentration levels which is resulting in uncharacteristic defensive errors such as the ones that proved so costly against City. He is also capable of playing anywhere across the front line. His missed chances against City betrayed a dip in confidence and, more significantly, Arsenal's collective threat has gone the same way. Arsenal have dropped more points in three Premier League games than they did in the previous 19. Arteta spoke of the "marathon" that still lies ahead in his press conference on Wednesday night. Privately, though, he will accept the potentially huge significance of how Arsenal respond at Villa Park. Together, though, the results comprise a significant blip. In addition to their decreased productivity in attack, there has been a dramatic increase in the number and quality of chances they are giving up to their opponents at the other end of the pitch. "The most important thing is how we are tomorrow," said Mikel Arteta. Anything less would extend Arsenal's winless run to four Premier League games, causing alarm bells to ring louder.

Bukayo Saka (16') · Oleksandr Zinchenko (61') · Emiliano Martínez (90'+3' OG) · Gabriel Martinelli (90'+8').

[Gabriel Martinelli](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/269844/Gabriel-Martinelli) added a fourth almost immediately after when Martinez went up to Arsenal's box to attack a last-minute corner, leaving the Arsenal striker to counter-attack and tap into an empty net. [Ollie Watkins](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/198825/Ollie-Watkins) opened the scoring with a powerful, low finish inside five minutes. The reaction from all of us in the second half was perfect." They can achieve everything they want if we continue this way, if we keep fighting, keep believing. From this game, we took an unbelievable lesson for all of us. [Jorginho](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233721/Jorginho)'s shot from the edge of the box struck the crossbar and hit goalkeeper [Emiliano Martinez](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/158626/Emiliano-Martínez) on the back of the head and found the net.

What a time for Arsenal to score the goal. It keeps them alive in the Premier League title race. A long-range shot from Jorginho hits the crossbar.

Moreno delivers a cross in the box, and Coutinho arrives at the right spot, to finish it off. The ball lands in Saka's feet, and the Arsenal striker makes no mistake. Coutinho scores his first goal after making a return to the Villa squad for the first time since October. Saka shielding the ball well, and creating havoc on the flanks. Saka delivers a cross but nothing substantial in front of the goal. A tussle between Saka and Coutinha at the brink of half-time. Martinez dives to save it, but his back hits the ball on the rebound, and the ball goes at the back of the net. Nketiah takes a high leap and tries to convert it but hits the crossbar. Villa strikes on the counter, but Ramsdale makes a good save, to keep the hosts at bay. A low-driven finish from the former Manchester City defender, on a set-up by Odegaard, from the corner. Aston Villa is compact at the back, making it hard for the Gunners to take shots. The Gunners are back at it.

The Gunners boss feels people have seen “the way Arsenal do things”.

“That is what we are looking to do. At the end of the day, come the end of May you’re going to have to have a certain amount of points. “You have to do things consistently, at an extremely high level. To have the capacity to rotate, to have the capacity when players are not in the best moment to change them. Don’t tell me how or where, but you’re going to have to have those points. Man City have been the number one candidates from day one because they have been in that position for much of the last five years.

Ahead of Arsenal's home game against Brentford the Clock End at the Emirates Stadium unfurled a black banner with white writing. 'Arsenal FC.

But Tebas, like the Arsenal fans, was othering. “You are talking the ethnicity, it's not true. Genuinely I am fascinated to know. “I think there’s something deeply wrong in bringing ethnicity into the conversation. “I think the way he is combining teams because of ethnicity. "I am not at all racist. I have no issues about ethnicity. That’s both ownership and sponsorship.” “This is a behavior that football fans commonly engage in, the latest episode of which was evident during a recent Arsenal game when fans unfurled a banner mocking Manchester City, its owners, and its fans.” “Most of us have been complicit in changes that have taken place in the game over the last thirty years, and no amount of othering can change this fact,” he continued. A lesser discussed aspect of the statement is the combination of the ‘oil money’ slur alongside the words “class and tradition.” Adding in a second Tweet: “For the avoidance of doubt, you can’t be against ‘oil money’ - whatever that’s meant to mean - in some contexts and not the other.

Arsenal grabbed a dramatic 4-2 win vs Aston Villa in the Premier League. The match also saw Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez score an own goal ...

“The reaction from all of us in the second half is perfect.” Bukayo Saka equalized with a perfectly struck volley in the 16th, but Villa reclaimed the lead in the 31st through Philippe Coutinho. Arsenal had to come from behind twice before the lucky bounce from Jorginho's shot made it 3-2 in the third minute of stoppage time. And then we came into halftime, we had a talk, a chat, then we went back to doing the basics that we need to do, and we could change the game.” It also halted an alarming slump for Arteta's team, which had looked in danger of suffering a fourth loss in five games in all competitions. The win puts Arsenal three points above Manchester City atop the table ahead of the defending champion's game against Nottingham Forest later Saturday.

Arsenal had to come from behind twice before the lucky bounce from Jorginho's shot made it 3-2 in the third minute of stoppage time.

Villa went ahead in the just the fifth minute through Ollie Watkins, after Oleksandr Zinchenko had given the ball away cheaply. Arsenal had to come from behind twice before the lucky bounce from Jorginho's shot made it 3-2 in the third minute of stoppage time. It also halted an alarming slump for Mikel Arteta's team, which had looked in danger of suffering a fourth loss in five games in all competitions.

Arsenal were fortunate to see Jorginho's shot rebound off the keeper and into the net for their crucial third goal, but they had earned their luck.

[Eddie Nketiah](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259486/Edward-Nketiah): Wasteful in front of goal again and was fortunate it did not cost Arsenal. Also, the reaction from all of us in the second half was perfect, that's the right way to go for the future games." We have to take some lessons today because especially in the first half, we didn't do all the simple things right and then we give them the chance to score those two goals in a really simple way. But it was Arsenal who were the stars of the show as they ended up claiming a stunning late victory. This was a day to forget for the 30-year-old. [Oleksandr Zinchenko](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/217482/Oleksandr-Zinchenko) fired Arsenal level on 61 minutes and there were chances for both sides as [Martin Odegaard](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/203669/martin-odegaard) missed a glorious chance 13 minutes from time, while at the other end substitute [Leon Bailey](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/224809/Leon-Bailey) crashed a late shot against the bar. This was another occasion to add to a growing list where Saka was on the receiving end of some rough treatment. Kicking off just 63 hours after losing 3-1 to City, this was always going to be a test of Arsenal's resolve and it became immeasurably harder after Watkins scored early on -- the first goal Arsenal have conceded in the opening 15 minutes of a league match this season. And despite going down for treatment early in the second half, Saka admirably battled on to keep taking the fight to Villa, playing the entire game when it looked probable at one stage he would be forced off. Five minutes later, with Martinez caught upfield for a Villa corner, the visitors broke again and substitute [Gabriel Martinelli](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/269844/Gabriel-Martinelli) was left to roll the ball into an unguarded net. This victory arrests that poor run and fires a statement to City that they still have genuine competition in the title race. Arsenal's durability in the title race was called into question after a run of one point from a possible nine enabled Manchester City to knock them off the top of the table in midweek for the first time since Nov.
