The Spaniard will not be in the dugout at Villa Park as Arsenal aim to strengthen their grip at the top of the Premier League after he received a third yellow card of the season in Tuesday's last-gasp victory at Luton.

The Gunners came from behind to win 4-3 as Declan Rice headed in the decider deep into stoppage time, with Arteta cautioned by referee Samuel Barrott, who deemed he had excessively celebrated the goal.

However, Arteta - who could face a further touchline ban following a Football Association charge for his post-match comments after the controversial loss at Newcastle - does not want to rein in his demeanour.

"I don't know how to stop it," he said.

"It was a really emotional moment with everybody bouncing around and you lose sense of where you are and the space you have to be in.

"It was unfortunate as now I cannot be next to my team on the touchline but it is a decision that they make looking strictly at the rules.

"After that I straight away sat on my seat and stayed there for 30 seconds but that was after the emotion. In the moment I think it is very difficult to demand that."

Asked if he would actually want to stop showing his emotion, Arteta replied: "If I was given the opportunity, no.

"I would like to be with my players because we work closely every single day to achieve what we want, which is to win the games and when you get those moments in sport you should be able to do that.

"I understand as well that there are certain boundaries and you have to respect that you are at an away ground but if I was given the chance I would be there jumping."

Arteta did suggest that not all managers have been punished for similar reactions, adding: "Maybe we have to extend (the technical area). We just need a very strong rope, or we don't move. But it means we don't move - all of us.

"The ˜we' is different in the context and it is important to look at the ˜we' in that context."

Arteta will be in the directors' box at Villa Park but will be allowed to take the pre-match team-talk and join his players in the dressing room at half-time and full-time before completing his media obligations.

Arsenal will be trying to become the first team to win at Villa since they themselves scored twice in stoppage time to seal a 4-2 victory in February.

Since then Unai Emery has overseen 14 successive home Premier League wins and will be keen to put one over his former club, with Villa sitting third in the table heading into the weekend.

Emery was chosen to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal in 2018 but was sacked just 18 months later to be replaced by Arteta.

The pair both hail from the Basque Country - where fellow coaches Julen Lopetegui, Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola also grew up.

Arteta admits Emery was a manager he looked up to as he started out on his own coaching career, saying: "He's the most experienced and the most successful one, by quite a long distance with everything he's achieved in the game and everything he's won. He's someone I admire.

"I followed him since he was in Almeria and for every team he has always been remarkable. He always improves the players, the team and the club.

"He's Basque like I am and he is a manager that I really admire for what he has done in the game.

"He has done it in various countries at different levels and always been successful. I am really happy for him."
