Arsenal: 5 Ways Arsenal Can Beat Aston Villa

What a terrible week it has been for Arsenal. Out of the FA Cup, outclassed in the Champion's League and the media's questions about Arsene Wenger's future showing no sign of ending, despite the call from Jack Wilshere to blame the players and not the manager. What any manager in Wenger's position would be crying out for is an easy home fixture. Therefore, on paper, a home game to struggling Aston Villa seems like the perfect fixture for Arsene to get a good result and take some of the pressure from he and his team. Villa are tightroping over the relegation zone at the moment, with a young team which has come under fire all season, along with their young manager. Despite the criticism, things are looking ever so slightly up for Paul Lambert's men. They picked up their first league win of 2013 in their last game at home to West Ham United, and they will probably feel this weekend is as promising a time to face Arsenal at the Emirates as they will ever get. What is clear though is that of the two managers, despite Villa's league position, the one most in need of 3 points this weekend is Arsene Wenger. Here are 5 ways that Arsenal can beat Villa.
