  • Arsenal have seen over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 Premier League games.
  • Aston Villa have lost 6 of their last 8 away matches.

Head to Head


Arsenal have an 88-71 advantage against Aston Villa in 204 meetings with 45 draws. The Gunners beat Villa 2-0 in the reverse fixture this season. 

Arsenal Form


Arsenal are unbeaten in 11 consecutive Premier League games and sit second in the standings. They trail Liverpool by just three points.

The Gunners have the best Premier League home record this season, winning seven of 10 matches. Arsenal were less commanding at home in the cup competitions, losing 2-0 against Newcastle and drawing 1-1 with Man United.

Mikel Arteta’s team ended that run with a 2-1 home win over Tottenham in the North London derby. The Gunners conceded early but a Spurs own goal and Leandro Trossard’s strike led Arsenal to victory.

Arsenal Injuries


Attackers Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri and Bukato Saka are injured and unavailable on Saturday.

Defensive duo Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also injured and will miss out.

Aston Villa Form 


Aston Villa have struggled for form and dropped points in eight of their last 13 league games. Inconsistency leaves the Villans seventh and behind the top four by three points.

All five of the Villans’ league defeats since November have come on the road, capped with a 3-0 loss at Newcastle. Villa have since drawn with Brighton 2-2 and beaten Leicester and West Ham 2-1 - all at home.

Unai Emery’s outfit ended their run of five consecutive away defeats with a 1-0 win at Everton. Villa had 1.29-1.23 XG and Ollie Watkins struck the winner just after half time. 

Aston Villa Injuries


Defensive duo Pau Torres and Diego Carlos are unlikely to play due to injury.

Midfielders John McGinn and Ross Barkley are also sidelined with respective injuries. 

Verdict

Arsenal will want to remain in the title race and can keep their strong home form going with a win. Villa are poor on the road and a high-scoring home triumph for the Gunners is a solid pick.
