Arsenal have reportedly been dealt a huge blow with star midfielder Declan Rice ruled out of Tuesday's gigantic clash with Aston Villa. Rice starred in Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Brighton at the weekend as he marauded up and down the flank as he was asked to play out of position at right back with several other players out injured.

Arsenal emphatically proved their title credentials with a convincing victory over Aston Villa at the Emirates.

A Bukaya Saka corner in from the right saw goalkeeper Emi Martinez under pressure from Gabriel and only able to flap at the ball which rolled free and into the back of the net.
