Aston Villa v Arsenal EPL Prediction – Preview

Aston Villa F.C.

Aston Villa are currently seated outside of the EPL top 10 with 28 points. In their last league outing, they fell to Manchester City 1-3 at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens bulldozed through the Villans in the first half, with Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez getting past Emiliano Martinez. And while the visitors gave the hosts a challenge in the second period, with Ollie Watkins finishing into the bottom left corner, they were unable to overcome Man City’s lead. Manager Unai Emery was disappointed with the result, and insists his side must learn from this if they aim to get into the top ten. Will they do so in time with the clash with the Gunners?

After winning 3 straight EPL matches against Arsenal from July 2020 to February 2021, Aston Villa have now lost each of their last 3 against the Gunners.
The Villans lost 2-4 to Leicester City in their last home league match, but have not lost consecutive games at Villa Park since April last year. However, one of the losses back then was to Arsenal.

Arsenal F.C.

Arsenal have fallen to second in the table with their recent defeat, although they still have a game in hand. Just like the Villans, they bowed 1-3 to Manchester City, although they did so at their home turf, the Emirates Stadium. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring on 24 minutes, but Bukayo Saka equalised from the spot after Ederson ran into Eddie Nketiah. However, that was the last time the Gunners scored, with Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland each netting in the second period. Despite Arsenal’s loss and their move down the table, manager Mikel Arteta brushed off the ordeal, saying that a “psychological marathon” lies ahead in the title race. Could they finally snap their winless streak when they visit Villa this weekend?

Only against West Ham (14) have Arsenal won more EPL matches than they have against Aston Villa (13). However, the Gunners have lost their last 2 visits to Villa Park.
Arsenal have lost their last 2 away matches in all competitions–as many as they had in their first 14 on the road this season (W11 D1). They last saw defeat thrice on their away trips in December 2021, and they’ve not lost three in a row without netting since December 2009.
