Unai Emery has piled the pressure on Arsenal ahead of Tuesday's clash with Aston Villa by making the Gunners favourites for the Premier League title.

Villa are just three points behind Arsenal in the table and are the form team in the country after winning 11 straight matches in all competitions.

Emery managed Arsenal for 18 months between 2018-19 and is now into his fourth year at Villa Park. His team got the better of Mikel Arteta’s men in the reverse fixture on December 6 but he expects the challenge to be tougher at Emirates Stadium.
