Betting Predictions
Former and current Arsenal managers will square off in the West Midlands on Saturday night when the Gunners travel to take on Unai Emery’s Aston Villa in the Premier League.
After one game, both teams have three points: the Lions defeated West Ham United 2-1, while Mikel Arteta’s group defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers with two consecutive goals.
Head-to-Head
Last season, Aston Villa proved to be a pain for Arsenal, winning both of their Premier League encounters. Villa defeated them in the 2020–21 season as well, but the Gunners had prevailed in the four before encounters. Arsenal defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 at home to open the season on a victorious note.
Their winning streak extended to seven Premier League games with a goal in each half. A 2-1 victory at West Ham United on the road started this season off nicely. They have drew their last two home league games but are undefeated in their previous five.
Team News
Right-back Matty Cash was substituted eight minutes before the conclusion of Villa’s victory over West Ham. It seemed as though Cash had suffered a blow to the upper part of his leg, but Emery did not address the defender’s condition following the match.
Still, reserve right-back Kosta Nedeljkovic is waiting in the wings, but if Cash is left out, Emery might choose to go with the more seasoned player and move Ezri Konsa to right-back, freeing up Diego Carlos to return to the center of defense amid rumors of his departure.
While Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings recover from severe knee injuries, Villa should think about moving Duran up to the starting lineup; Among all active players with at least five goals in the Premier League, the 20-year-old has an average of one goal per 103 minutes, second only to Erling Haaland’s one every 85.
Declan Rice suffered cramps only minutes before the end of Arsenal’s victory over Wolves, forcing them to make a late change. However, the English midfielder is anticipated to start at Villa Park.
While Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) are still some weeks away from full-back recovery, Fabio Vieira (hip) might also be ready for the journey to the West Midlands.
Havertz is attempting to overcome some personal demons on Saturday, as the former Chelsea striker has never scored or assisted a teammate in seven prior Premier League games with Villa—his worst record against any English top-flight team. Havertz is fresh off his goal and assists in the Wolves triumph.
Probable Line-Up
Aston Villa XI:
Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Bailey, Tielemans, Onana, McGinn; Watkins, Duran
Arsenal XI:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Verdict
Tip Draw❌
Reason
Arsenal have tied for the most wins at an away Premier League site with 14 at Villa Park. However, the Gunners were lucky to escape punishment for some careless play against Wolves, when they were not playing at their peak.
Although Arteta’s team can always be counted on to play defense that is airtight, or nearly watertight, we should expect Saturday’s match to conclude in a fiercely contested stalemate since Villa’s front line, led by Ollie Watkins and Duran, poses a serious threat.

Tip: BTTS (YES)❌
Reason
Aston Villa are usually good value for goals under Emery but their home games with the big guns were cagey affairs last term. Arteta also took few risks in tough games away from him so I fancy a cagey game here. Villa averaged two goals a match last season and they have kept up that record already, so you wouldn’t bet against them scoring against Arsenal.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
