After outclassing Manchester City on Wednesday, it’s Premier League leaders Arsenal up next for Aston Villa at Fortress Villa Park.

Unai Emery’s side produced a stunning performance to secure a famous victory over the 2022/23 treble winners in midweek – leapfrogging them to climb to third in the table as a result.

The jury is still out on exactly what can be achieved under Emery this season but the whispers of a potential title challenge would grow louder if they can add the Gunners to their list of scalps and continue their perfect home record in the league in 2023/24.

Arsenal will no doubt have been watching, and celebrating, Villa’s win over their title rivals so will know the size of the task facing them in the West Midlands – particularly with Mikel Arteta banned from the sidelines.

They proved their mettle by finding a last-gasp winner against Luton Town on Tuesday but coming away from Villa Park with all three points would feel like an even more significant result in the title race.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Aston Villa v Arsenal on TV and online.
