Arsenal's first big test of the 2024/25 Premier League season comes on Saturday as they travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa.

Some are tipping the Gunners to finally get past Man City to end their 20-year wait for a league title this term, and they made a confident start as they beat Wolves 2-0 at the Emirates in the opening weekend.

Next up is Villa, and Mikel Arteta's side will be out for some revenge after being beaten home and away last term – results that would prove costly as they finished just two points behind their title rivals.

The hosts, meanwhile, will be looking to lay down a marker as they try to build on a stunning 2023/24 campaign.

Unai Emery's team finished fourth in the top flight last term, qualifying for the Champions League, and now want to show that they're more than just a one-season wonder.
