Arsenal can consolidate their lead at the top of the Premier League table if they defeat Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
The Birmingham side will not make things easy for the Gunners though, with Unai Emery’s side enjoying an impressive season. After defeating reigning champions Manchester City in midweek, star defender Diego Carlos has insisted the Villans have no fear as they prepare to face Arsenal.
Villa “not scared” of Arsenal
Diego Carlos has insisted that Aston Villa are not worried about facing Arsenal on Saturday. The Villans are third in the Premier League and Carlos has insisted that his side fear no one as they prepare to take on the leaders.
There’s confidence in us and, as players, we aren’t scared. The gaffer wants every player to have confidence with the ball and their position. We are a good team. From the first day he arrived, Unai improved both the team and us players,” he said.
“Now, we’re in a good position in the table, but our season is not finished. There are still a lot of games to play. It’s important to stay grounded and humble. For me, this is most important. We respect every team we play against – but we aren’t scared of them.”
Carlos’ message comes as Declan Rice was hailed as the Gunners’ version of Roy Keane and boss Mikel Arteta hit out at the FA for his touchline ban.
