[Teams] Arsenal vs Aston Villa: Confirmed Line-Ups From The Emirates

Arsenal welcome Aston Villa to the Emirates this afternoon for their fourth round FA Cup tie. Manager Arsene Wenger will be hoping the end a poor run after back-to-back defeats to Manchester United and Swansea have left the Gunners five points behind fourth placed Chelsea in the league.

The FA Cup is a realistic opportunity for silverware this season, with both Manchester City and Manchester United already out, so Arsene Wenger will be desperate to be in the draw for the fifth round.

Fabianski, Coquelin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Song, Rosicky, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Van Persie, Walcott.
