Who will Arsenal win against Aston Villa?
Although they remain top of the table, it would be fair to say that Arsenal have not looked as strong in recent weeks as they did in the opening months of the season.
In fact, the Gunners may have won each of their last three Premier League matches, but it’s worth noting that the winner against Brighton was an own goal.
In addition, the two goals of the Londoners in their 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers were self-inflicted by Old Gold, and it required a penalty for Arsenal to beat Everton 1-0.
In contrast, Villa have progressed into the 2025-26 campaign after a lackluster start and are now in the midst of a stunning 11-game winning streak in all competitions.
As part of this series, Emery’s team won in a 2-1 triumph against Arteta’s men earlier this month, something the Lions are sure to take confidence from.
With that in mind, expect to see a close contest on Tuesday, but if any team looks more likely to secure a vital victory, it’s Villa.
