Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa revive their season?
An impressive start to this Premier League season saw Aston Villa make an explosive start to the campaign with four wins on the trot with victories gained over Sheffield United, Fulham, Liverpool and Leicester City but recent results have seen a definite decline in form.
Dean Smith’s side have won just two of their last seven matches overall in the top flight which came in the shape of wins over Newcastle United and Southampton, but four defeats within this period has resulted in Villa dropping down the table to 9th place.
Nevertheless, Villa Park has been one of the places to be at this season for goals as six of Villa’s nine home matches to date have resulted in over 2.5 goals, while nine of the previous 11 meetings against Arsenal have also seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Arsenal Preview – Can Gunners bounce back?
Arsenal are proof that there’s no divine right to success in football as The Gunners currently sit mid-table in the Premier League in 10th place following a 2-1 defeat away from home at Wolves in midweek which ended a run of seven matches without defeat.
It appeared that Arsenal had finally got their act together under manager, Mikel Arteta, but their recent loss at Wolves again casts doubt over the long-term future of Arteta at the helm of the north London club but they will fancy their chances of bouncing back with a win against a stuttering Villa outfit here.
Arsenal’s form away from home has been unusually inconsistent as the visitors possess a record of 5-1-5 15/11 but six of Arsenal’s 11 away matches have also resulted in over 2.5 goals and this market looks the best play here.
