Arsenal have been awful in this second half, absolutely dreadful. They have been worse here (after the break) than Liverpool were in losing at home to Crystal Palace
Manchester City will not believe their luck if things stay like this…

Things have changed here at the Emirates now. It felt bright and optimistic and relatively inevitable in the first half, but it doesn’t know.
Arsenal have spent the first fifteen minutes of this second half playing edgy lateral football back and forth in front of the massed Villa ranks. No forward movement, no tempo.
Yes, they are nervous now alright….

Martin Odegaard has been the best player on the field by a mile so far.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta trying to lift the crowd as half-time nears but in truth, there is no need for that yet. Arsenal have actually played pretty well, they just haven’t scored.
The crowd seem a little nervous but, crucially, the players don’t.
WHAT A SAVE! Arsenal 0-0 Aston Villa

Unai Emery looks rather like he used during those 18 months spent in the dug-out 20 yards to his left. Stressed…

Kai Havertz causing the Villa defence problems with his movement already. Nobody seems to know whether to go with him when he drops in to that pocket between the back four and the midfield.
On Arsenal’s right, however, Bukayo Saka already looks to have the beating of Villa left-back Lucas Digne. He just needs his quality of cross to be better.
Arsenal 0-0 Aston Villa

‘Early goal may be needed to settle some nerves’
There were a few shouts and fist pumps among Arsenal staff in the media room at the Emirates when the whistle blew on Liverpool’s home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Arsenal’s job now is to ensure that a two-horse race doesn’t become a procession for Manchester City.
I have to say the Emirates isn’t sounding quite as excitable as I expected. Like every team at this stage of the season, an early goal may be needed to settle some nerves…
