Aston Villa vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 07/12/2023, 12:34 by Joseph King | Modified on 07/12/2023 at 14:10 in Premier League Predictions

The highlight of matchday 16 in the Premier League sees leaders Arsenal traveling to the West Midlands to take on third-place Aston Villa. Both teams are in red-hot form which should make for a cracker of a match at Villa Park. The Gunners hold a slim two-point lead over second-place Liverpool while a win for Aston Villa would cut the gap between themselves and their opponents to just one point. Can Unai Emery get one over on his former employer or will Mikel Arteta’s side grab another win at Villa Park and put an end to the hosts’ remarkable run?

Aston Villa - Arsenal: Form Analysis

Aston Villa come into this match off the back of a tremendous 1-0 win over Manchester City on Wednesday. The win maintained the Villains 100% winning home record in the Premier League. It also represented the hosts 14th consecutive league win at Villa Park dating back to last season. Unai Emery has been a roaring success since taking over in October of 2022, leading his squad to a seventh-place finish and a spot in the Conference League in 2022/23. They’ll have even grander aspirations this season as they are looking like they could challenge for a spot in the Champions League. Villa enter this match on a six match unbeaten run, five of which have resulted in victories.

Arsenal were the last team to deal Aston Villa a loss at this ground after their 4-2 victory in February of 2023. The Gunners have picked up right from where they left off last season as they have shot up to the top of the standings. Arsenal’s record of 11-3-1 gives them a two-point cushion atop the standings. They’ve also delivered in the Champions League where they have guaranteed first-place in their group. Their most recent outing was a wild 4-3 comeback win away against Luton Town which saw Arsenal grab yet another last-gasp goal as Declan Rice headed home the winner in the 97th minute. The win was Arsenal’s sixth in a row across all competitions as the team is firing on all cylinders.

Aston Villa & Arsenal Squad Analysis

Both managers have a few injury concerns to deal with ahead of this clash. Unai Emery will likely be without Leon Bailey after the Jamaican international was forced to come off just five minutes from full time in the win over Man City. Bailey was excellent in the win and will be a huge miss if he is unable to recover in time. Luckily, some smart investment in the summer means that Villa have a deep squad to work with. Expect Moussa Diaby to step in for Bailey and offer a similar direct threat. The hosts will be unable to call upon Emiliano Buendia, Bertrand Traore and Tyrone Mings who are all nursing injuries.

Unfortunately for Mikel Arteta, Arsenal will be without one of their most sound defenders in Japanese international Takehiro Tomiyasu who is expected to be sidelined for roughly six weeks. Alongside Tomiyasu, the Gunners will have to do without the services of Emile Smith-Rowe, Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber. Arteta also won’t be present on the touchline after picking up his third yellow card of the season, resulting in a one-week ban.
