Bruno Guimaraes returns to the bench as Arsenal keep the same lineup after his groin problem kept him out of the opener.
- On Monday, August 31, 2026, Arsenal named an unchanged starting XI for their Premier League match against Aston Villa at Villa Park, retaining the same lineup that faced Coventry City last week.
