Who will be in charge of Aston Villa's fight with Arsenal in Matchweek 2 of the new Premier League season?
With a 2-0 get over Wolves, Arsenal's most recent attempt to overthrow Manchester City at the top of the Premier League got off to a great start. Mikel Arteta's area looked convincing as goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka saw them pick up where they left off next time.
However, this weekend's trip to Aston Villa will likely give the Raiders a tougher test. Arsenal may be aware of how crucial it is to prevent a repeat of last year's 1-0 battle at Villa Park, which was disastrous.
Beating Villa may become easier said than done, though. Last weekend's 2-1 win over West Ham was a great result for United Emery's part. The signing of Amadou Onana from Everton looks like a critical one, and Villa may be determined to make a speech playing in front of their home viewers for the first time this year.
Who is the Aston Villa vs. Arsenal referee?
Premier League steadfast Michael Oliver will be in command of the fight at Villa Park. The 39-year-old has been officiating in the best aircraft since 2010 and refereed four matches at Euro 2024. Oliver's first match of the new Premier League season was Nottingham Forest's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, in which he brandished four bright cards.
Stuart Burt and Dan Cook may assist him.
Who is on VAR jobs and the third national for Aston Villa vs Arsenal?
The VAR at Villa Park may become Eddie Smart's associate, Peter Bankes, a veteran referee.
Darren England will be the third standard.
