Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal defeated (3-1) Aston Villa with goals from Thomas, Aubameyang and Smith Rowe in the ninth day of the Premier League and certified their great moment of form at home– They have won five of their last seven games at the Emirates Stadium, where they have only recorded one loss and one draw.
The gunners, that for the first time since the 1995/96 season they do not play continental competition, add a total of six consecutive days without losing in the Premier League: four wins and two draws after signing zero points out of nine possible in the first three dates, something that made him be in the last position of the table before the first stoppage for selections.

The North London team have signed the same number of wins at home (5) in the last seven games as in the previous 16, when they were accompanied by seven losses and four draws. Mikel Arteta’s men have picked up a good tone from the high level shown in the first half against Tottenham in the derby and are one of the most fit teams in the British championship.
Recover your identity and enter the Big six
The Londoners have reversed the initial catastrophic dynamics in the British championship and are currently one of the strongest teams: They have signed six consecutive days without losing and have risen to ninth place at the beginning of the ninth day. With no European competition on the horizon, Mikel Arteta’s priority is to regain the team’s status and sneak back into the game. Big six.
Arsenal has signed this last summer market to players like Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Nuno Tavares, Lokonga and especially Martin Odegaard with the intention of recovering his competitive level in the Premier League, where last season they showed their worst version in recent years and finished in eighth position.
