Away from Villa Park, Arsenal's appeal against defender Gabriel's red card during Saturday's defeat by Chelsea has been successful.
Gabriel, 24, was sent off by referee Mike Dean for violent conduct after a clash with Diego Costa during the Blues' 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
The successful appeal means he will now not serve a three-match suspension.
The Brazilian is subject to a separate Football Association charge of improper conduct.

Where Villa are in the league, where they are with their season, there's more pressure on them to win, so we can go there a little bit freer.
