Aston Villa vs Arsenal Preview & Tips
Aston Villa have been outstanding of late, with the side sitting in third in the league with 27 points, meaning they are six short of Arsenal at the summit.
Arsenal have enjoyed a supreme start to the season, winning 10 of their opening 14 and moving to the top of the standings.
- Aston Villa have won their last five at home in the league
- Arsenal have dropped points in their last two home games in the Premier League
- The Gunners have seen both sides score in three of their last four in the competition
Head To Head
Arsenal have won five of their last 10 against Villa, with the latter winning four times and one game ending as a draw.
Aston Villa Form
Aston Villa have been showing their supreme quality on the pitch this season, with the side sitting a point behind former champions Manchester City in second, and six behind their next opponents at the summit.
Their 4-3 win over Brighton may have been a tight win in a game that could have gone either way, but it also saw Villa come from 2-0 down to take all three points. This win was their fourth consecutive victory in the league, while they have won their last five home matches in an excellent run.
Arsenal arrive for this one as the favourites, but Villa are a great pick to deny them all three points. The home team have been incredibly strong at Villa Park, and at 1.91 to either win or take a point, I am backing Villa to continue to show their quality.
Arsenal Form
Arsenal secured a battling 2-0 win over Brentford in their last match as they bounced back from a 1-1 draw with Chelsea to take all three points.
This win means the Gunners were able to match City taking all three points from Fulham on Tuesday evening, with Arsenal moving five points clear at the top. However, the major worry for the Gunners will be that their last two away games have seen them drop two points against Sunderland and Chelsea.
With Villa in stunning form at home and across the season, they will likely give Arsenal a massive test. While I do predict that the Gunners will breach Villa's defence, I am backing against them taking all three points from this one as the home side roar to a good result.
Verdict
I am backing Villa/Draw in the double chance market, while I also predict that both sides will fail to keep a clean sheet in an entertaining match as third hosts first in the league table.
