Makes Starting XI

Rice (calf) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa.
ANALYSIS
Rice was forced off late in Wednesday's victory against Brentford due to undisclosed reasons, but he has passed the late fitness test and will start in midfield against Aston Villa on Saturday. The midfielder remains essential for the Gunners as both a central presence and a set piece taker. His availability keeps the structure of the starting XI intact and prevents any need for Mikel Merino to reclaim that role as he will start up front again for that game.
