Aston Villa v Arsenal prediction and team news: Who will win Premier League game?
Our predictions for Aston Villa v Arsenal in the Premier League, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Arsenal can bounce back from their disappointing defeat against Manchester City and return to the top of the Premier League when they face Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Gunners lost 3-1 at the Emirates on Wednesday night, with goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland handing Arsenal their first home defeat of the season.
The result sent City to the top of the Premier League on goal difference, however, Arsenal boast a game in hand and they can go top again with a draw or a win at Villa Park.
Villa, meanwhile, have lost their last two Premier League games against Leicester and City. It stopped their impressive run under ex-Arsenal boss Unai Emery that had seen them win three and draw one of their previous four outings.
A win for Emery's men on Saturday afternoon would see them go level on points with Chelsea in tenth, however, the Blues would have a game in hand.
