Whichever the result is here, the implications on the standings will be massive.

Arsenal vs. Aston Villa Preview

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta’s unit experienced a rollercoaster against Bayern Munich, playing 2-2 against the German champions. They were up 1-0, then quickly fell behind before leveling the score in the second 45 minutes. We are sure that their minds are still in that game, but a very nasty opponent comes their way.

This was yet another meeting in which Arsenal scored two or more goals. To be exact, this happened in six of the previous seven meetings, with the Gunners winning five of those clashes.

Arsenal is one of the best hosts in the Premiership, having 38 points in 15 appearances, which includes 12 wins, two ties, and one loss. During that span, Arsenal scored 38 goals and conceded 13.

Aston Villa

Villa failed to win their past two Premiership appearances. If the loss in Manchester to City, 4-1, wasn’t a surprise, then a tie at home versus Brentford was one. That game ended 3-3, with the Villains dropping valuable points and allowing Tottenham to take over the fourth position in the standings.

Another problem for Villa are three consecutive outings in which they haven’t won. It started in Amsterdam when they played without goals against Ajax, then continued in London, 1-1 to West Ham and concluded with the above-mentioned loss to City.

What puts the additional pressure on the guests is the fact that Tottenham has a game in hand compared to them. Therefore, the loss here would place the Villains in an extremely unfavorable position.
