Time running out...

I thought Villa were looking out on their feet about half an hour ago, Gary.
But Unai Emery has made changes in the right places at the right time and he's hoping that will be enough to carry them over the line.

Fair play to Unai. I thought Villa would have been out on their feet after the efforts against Man. City, but obviously not

Aston Villa are 10 minutes away from what could be club record of 15 consecutive home league wins.
It would dent Arsenal's chances near the top of the table.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
This is why Villa needed those fresh legs of Alex Moreno.
The Spanish full-back is straight into the thick of it, nipping in quickly to stop Gabriel Jesus picking up a forward pass and potentially running in on the home goal.
Class defending.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Unai Emery goes to the bench again.
Another straight swap and more sharp legs in a key position.
Alex Moreno shakes the hand of his fellow left-back Lucas Digne, who was also on a yellow.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Speculative effort from Matty Cash after Arsenal deal with the initial corner.
The Villa sub pounces on a loose ball and drills a low shot wide.
That would have been a banger (and Cash).

Great battles on the pitch. Players giving absolutely everything to the cause. Who is going to have that quality? Who is going to be able to find something different in this game?
It's the first time Villa have been up this end for a while they need to just try and work their way to get crosses in.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
So we're into the final 15 minutes of normal time, goodness knows how much stoppage time there might be.
There shouldn't be loads but you never know.
Anyway, Villa have a corner after Declan Rice can only toe the ball out behind his own goal-line.

It is getting really tense inside Villa Park now. A HUGE 20 minutes or so remain for both sides.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
The ball is there to be won but John McGinn doesn't make a good attempt of it.
The Villa scorer whacks his opposing captain Martin Odegaard and is shown a yellow card.

This is so unlucky. They knew the wall was going to jump. He's drilled it low under the wall and he's hit the man blocking him behind it. Really clever.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
The substitution is made as Arsenal line up a free-kick about 22 yards out from the Villa goal.
Martin Odegaard leads the pow-wow, but it is Declan Rice who takes it.
Rice goes low under the ball and the ball hits the feet of Leandro Trossard and goes into Emi Martinez's hands.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Now a change for Arsenal.
Leandro Trossard takes the spot of Gabriel Martinelli as Arsenal look for some magic from someone.

Tempting fate here I'm sure but here goes - under Arteta I don't think Arsenal are ruthless enough. Like under Wenger it's all about pretty football and walking the ball into the net.

Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Arsenal have dominated the second half but are almost hit by a sucker punch.
Moussa Diaby finds space on the right and stays patient before picking out Ollie Watkins in the middle.
The Villa striker sharply makes a dart to hit the shot first time, although it is straight down David Raya's throat.

Saka is not moving well at all, he's still hobbling.
He's got his hands on his knees and he's leaning down and feeling his left foot. Whether it's bruising, whether it's something more serious than that, he is struggling.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Here are the new faces for Villa.
Marauding right-back Matty Cash comes on for Ezri Konsa in a straight swap, while Leandro Dendoncker replaces Boubacar Kamara in the engine room.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Villa have been readying a couple of subs for a minute or so. An injection of fresh minds and legs needed after a taxing but productive week.
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Bukayo Saka back on his feet - and getting booed now every time he touches the ball.
