Arsenal have another big test coming up, so Mikel Arteta will be hoping his players can prove their title credentials. The Gunners will lock horns with Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they both look to climb the Premier League table.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed Arsenal are “actively looking” to add to a forward before the January transfer window closes. The Gunners beat Tottenham 2-1 on Wednesday night to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points.

Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal's sensational display after they bounced back from recent cup disappointment to win 2-1 at home to Tottenham and reignite their Premier League title hopes. Arsenal dominated the opening exchanges but failed to make a number of set-pieces count and were hit by sucker-punch in the 25th minute when a deflected effort by Spurs captain Son Heung-min found the bottom corner.
