Aston Villa vs Arsenal Predicted Lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Premier League 2024-25

The Gunners will hope to avenge their previous defeat against Villains.

Arsenal’s past and present managers will collide on Saturday evening when the Gunners make the trip to tackle Unai Emery’s Aston Villa in the Premier League 2024-25. Revenge will be on Arsenal’s minds as Villa defeated the Gunners in both league matches last season. Both sides have three points as Aston Villa defeated West Ham by 2-1 and Arsenal defeated Wolves by 2-0.

Last season Emery’s Villa impressed everyone with their performance and this season as well they will look to perform in a similar way and will look to challenge City and Arsenal for the title as they have got a good squad and they can surprise everyone with their performances.

Mikel Arteta will be happy with the win against Wolves and facing Villa in the second fixture will be a tough task for the Gunners for sure. Fans can expect an intense match as both teams will look to give each other a tough time on the pitch. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

Ollie Watkins’ pace allows him to stretch defences and make intelligent runs behind, creating space for his teammates and providing a constant outlet for direct balls over the top. His movement is one of his biggest strengths, constantly finds himself in goal-scoring positions. He is adept at scoring with both feet and is always very composed in front of the goal, he isn’t the tallest player but is capable of scoring with his head as well. Overall, he is a lethal player and the opposition team will have to mark him properly.

Declan Rice (Arsenal)

Rice is a player who does his best work winning the ball and protecting the defence, he is strong in the tackle and very competitive in the air. He is two-footed and really good on the ball and can beat the opposition players in duels and one-on-one battles. He is good at slowing down the attacks of the opposition team and allows his teammates to recover and get back to their position in transition.
