Aston Villa vs Arsenal betting tips and summary
Both teams to score – good recent trend
Bukayo Saka to score or assist – in good form
Ollie Watkins to have over 0.5 shots on target – bagged a brace in latest match
Saturday’s early kick off will see two of the English Premier League’s most in-form teams go toe-to-toe, as Aston Villa welcome Arsenal to Villa Park.
The hosts will arrive at this game looking to make it five consecutive EPL wins.
Manager Unai Emery has seen his Villa side climb to third in the EPL table, just six points behind Saturday afternoon’s opponents.
A huge 4-3 win in midweek away to Brighton – where they came from two goals down – means that the Villains will come into this game in a confident mood.
Meanwhile, Arsenal top the league table after 14 games and it is looking increasingly likely that manager Mikel Arteta will be the first man since Arsene Wenger in 2004, to manage Arsenal to the EPL title.
They will make the journey to the midlands following a 2-0 win over Brentford on Wednesday, a result which saw them get back to winning ways after drawing with Chelsea last weekend.
What are the best bets for Aston Villa vs Arsenal?
