Arsenal did the hard work against Aston Villa but then just collapsed. One 'liability' must go and it feels increasingly likely that Mikel Arteta might too.

After leaders Liverpool could not draw against high-flying Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, Arsenal took full advantage 24 hours later with a 2-1 victory over rivals Tottenham in the North London derby
