Aston Villa are the next team Arsenal must defeat in their bid to win the league title this season, with the Gunners visiting Villa Park after beating Coventry City in their league opener.Arsenal are yet to concede a goal in competitive football this season after securing back-to-back wins in the Community Shield and their first league match of the campaign. The Gunners have made an impressive start, although they still have a long way to go.The men at the Emirates have been tipped to win the league title again, but there are 37 more games to play, meaning it is still early in the season. Arsenal have done their best to ensure the team wins its matches and can compete against any club, but Villa are one of the sides capable of hurting the Gunners.Villa’s defensive flawsSeveral teams have poached their best players during this transfer window, while Villa also suffered a shock 4-0 defeat in their first league match of the season. That result provided an early indication of some of the problems they could face during the campaign.Ahead of the match, Adrian Clarke discussed the flaws that helped Brighton beat Villa, and those weaknesses could also help Arsenal secure another victory. His assessment highlights an area the Gunners may look to exploit when the two sides meet.(Photo by Julian Finney/Getty Images)Arsenal could target the pressHe wrote on Arsenal Media:“The big tactical takeaway from Villa’s game against Brighton was how they failed to cope with the press. Determined to play out from the back, even up against a hostile man to man set up, Emery’s men were caught on the ball numerous times, especially when passes were fed into central midfield. Conceding a league high 19 high turnovers on MW1, we will have plenty of encouragement to close down Villa’s players with aggression.”Arsenal could therefore use an aggressive press to create opportunities against Villa. If the hosts continue to struggle when attempting to play out from the back, the Gunners may be able to force mistakes and turn those turnovers into chances.The assessment from Clarke gives Arsenal a clear area to target as they look to maintain their perfect defensive record and continue their strong start to the season._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
