FW Predictions for Aston Villa vs Arsenal
Premier League predictions for Saturday’s early kick-off between Aston Villa and Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s men are looking to end their four-game winless run in all competitions this weekend when they make the trip to Villa Park. Aston Villa have lost their last two league games but could move ahead of Chelsea and into the top half of the table with a win against the Gunners.
Both Teams to Score
For our first Aston Villa vs Arsenal prediction we’re backing both teams to score. Two of the last three league meetings between these two clubs have produced goals at both ends of the pitch. Aston Villa have seen five of their last six matches in all competitions ended with both teams scoring while three of Arsenal’s last five fixtures have ended the same way, so you can see why we’re backing both teams to score this weekend.
Over 2.5 Goals
Our second Aston Villa vs Arsenal prediction is in the total goals market. Four of the last seven league meetings between Aston Villa and Arsenal have ended with over 2.5 goals being scored. At least three goals have been produced in four of Aston Villa’s last five matches and two of Arsenal’s last four league games also witnessed over 2.5 goals scored.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal LineupsAston Villa
Aston Villa made the trip to Manchester City last weekend where they were dominated for the majority of the 90-minutes. The home side went in at the break 3-0 up but Watkins did manage to score a consolation goal in the 61st-minute to make the scoreline a little more respectable. Carlos, Mings, Steer and Traore are all doubts for this weekend’s clash with the Gunners.
Predicted Lineup: Martínez (GK), Young, Digne, Chambers, Konsa, Buendía, Kamara, Luiz, Ramsey, Watkins & Bailey
Arsenal
Arsenal played host to Man City in midweek for what could turn out to be a big result in the race for the Premier League title. De Bruyne handed the visitors the lead in the 24th-minute but Arsenal equalised via a Saka penalty just before the interval. The second-half belonged to Guadiola’s men though as Grealish and Haaland scored to wrap up a 3-1 victory for the second-placed side. Jesus, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nelson and Elneny are all doubts for the trip to the Midlands this weekend.
Predicted Lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Saliba, Xhaka, Jorginho, Zinchenko, Ødegaard, Saka, Nketiah & Martinelli
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Bukayo Saka
Arsenal’s 21-year-old wideman has been vital in their push for the Premier League title this season and it’s amazing to think how much more he could develop over the next few years.
The England international has scored 8-goals in the league alone this season making him the club’s joint-top scorer along with Odegaard. Saka is also Arsenal’s main assist provider having setup 8-goals in the Premier League this season, which is three more than Jesus, Xhaka or Odegaard.
With all that in mind, you can see why we have picked out Saka as the player to watch in the Aston Villa vs Arsenal game this Saturday at 12:30 GMT.
