Arsenal vs Aston Villa Prediction & Picks - Premier League
by Erik Gibbs in Premier League Picks
Arsenal will look to reclaim momentum in the Premier League title race when they host Aston Villa on Saturday. The Gunners secured a 2-0 victory at Villa Park earlier this season, a satisfying response to Villa’s double over them in the previous campaign. Heading into this match, Arsenal trail the league leaders by just four points, though the top team holds a game in hand. Mikel Arteta’s squad enters the weekend on a high after a 2-1 triumph over Tottenham midweek, rebounding from a tough period marked by back-to-back cup defeats to Newcastle and Manchester United. Despite their challenges, Arsenal remain firmly in second place, six points behind leaders Liverpool, having played one more game. Villa, under Unai Emery, have had an inconsistent season while juggling domestic and European commitments. However, they come to the Emirates in strong form, having won three consecutive matches, including a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Leicester City. After starting 2025 with wins over Leicester and West Ham in both the league and FA Cup, Villa also claimed a narrow victory over Everton midweek, where Ollie Watkins scored to spoil David Moyes’ return as Everton manager. This ended a five-match Premier League away losing streak for Villa, who had struggled defensively on the road.

Our Arsenal vs Aston Villa Prediction
Currently in seventh place, Villa are just three points shy of the Champions League positions, making this a pivotal encounter for their European ambitions. New signing Donyell Malen, formerly part of Arsenal’s youth setup, may debut for Villa, but he is unlikely to start immediately after joining from Borussia Dortmund. For Arsenal, injuries have been a concern. Gabriel Jesus is out with a long-term injury, while key players such as Bukayo Saka, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain sidelined. Despite these setbacks, Arsenal boast an unbeaten home league record this season, and another victory would underline their title aspirations. Villa’s only Premier League home loss this season came at the hands of Arsenal in August, a result they will look to avenge. Emery’s side has the defensive discipline and form to challenge the Gunners, potentially taking a hard-earned point back to Villa Park. However, Arsenal, determined to maintain their title challenge, will aim to capitalize on their home advantage and overcome this challenging test. Our prediction for Arsenal vs. Aston Villa: Aston Villa to win.
