Aston Villa vs Arsenal: Today's Best Bets
Contents
Arsenal remain 4th in the Premier League table despite losing at home to Liverpool in midweek and will be aiming for a return to winning ways on Saturday when they make the trip to Villa Park. Steven Gerrard's men are also looking for a response following defeat at West Ham last time out and the hosts have a decent recent record against the Gunners.
BTTS
We're predicting goals at both ends of the pitch on Saturday just as there were when these two sides met at the Emirates Stadium back in October. Both teams also scored in Aston Villa's last game away at West Ham while three of Arsenal's last five outings in the Premier League have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, so you can see why we're not backing either side to keep a clean sheet this weekend.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in four of the last six league meetings between these two clubs, and we're expecting another action-packed 90-minutes on Saturday. Each of Aston Villa's last three league games have produced at least three goals, while three of Arsenal's last five matches have witnessed over 2.5 goals.

Both teams are looking to bounce back from defeats
Aston Villa would have been expecting a very tough 90-minutes away at West Ham last weekend, and that's just what they got. The first-half ended goalless as neither side could find a breakthrough but in the 70th-minute substitute Yarmolenko put the Hammers 1-0 up. West Ham doubled their advantage 8-minutes from time to confirm the 3pts but Ramsey did manage to pull a goal back for Aston Villa in the 90th-minute.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup: Martínez, Young, Konsa, Mings, Coutinho, McGinn, Cash, Buendía, Ramsey, Ings & Watkins
Arsenal played host to title-challengers Liverpool on Wednesday night where the teams went in at the interval goalless. Arsenal might have been forgiven to thinking that they found Liverpool on an off day but 9-minutes after the restart Jota put the visitors in front. Shortly after that, Firmino made it 2-0 and the points slipped away from the Gunners. Arsenal remain one of the main contenders for that final Champions League spot and a win this weekend would go a long way to showing their true credentials.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup: Ramsdale, Soares, Tierney, Gabriel, White, Xhaka, Partey, Ødegaard, Lacazette, Saka & Martinelli
Team News
Aston Villa: Nakamba, Digne, Luiz and Chambers are all doubts for the home side this weekend.
Arsenal: Japanese full-back, Takehiro Tomiyasu, is the main injury concern for the visitors ahead of their trip to the Midlands.
