U-21s: Aston Villa v Arsenal – Preview

Arsenal Under-21s' new defensive partnership
Arsenal Under-21s' new defensive partnership

By Lloyd Webb

Krystian Bielik is eager for revenge against Aston Villa.

The last time Arsenal Under-21s lost was in December against Monday’s hosts, and the Gunners have since gone on an impressive seven-game unbeaten streak.

The defender has played a key part in the run which has put Arsenal into second position with three games in hand over league leaders Derby County, and Bielik says now is the perfect time to avenge their defeat.

"We know we are a very good team and we have very good players in every position. We are confident and know we can beat anyone"

“We feel very good,” he told Arsenal.com. “We are happy and this is a good time for us. We will keep going and try to win every single game.

"This is a good time to show [Aston Villa] that we are a better team than them. We will do this in the next game. We would like to stay unbeaten to the end of the season and it has always been our target to win the league and FA Youth Cup.

"If we work hard and play like we did against Fulham, we will have a good chance to win both. I don’t think we feel pressure.

"We know we are a very good team and we have very good players in every position. We are confident and know we can beat anyone. Our target is to win every single game but if we lose, we will be angry but we will work out the things that went wrong.”
