The Premier League title race took a twist in midweek, after Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest. Arsenal capitalized by beating North London rivals Tottenham 2-1 a day later. There promises to be more drama at the top and bottom of the league this weekend.

Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez returned to the starting XI on Wednesday after overcoming injury at the start of the week after he missed the FA Cup clash against West Ham. He will likely start in front of a unchanged back four of Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings and Lucas Digne. Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara could also continue in midfield.
