Aston Villa host Arsenal on Saturday in the English Premier League. <\/a><\/strong>Villa beat Arsenal twice last season and began this campaign with a victory. The Gunners have won seven straight league matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Villa had an iffy finish to last season but still managed a top four place. A run of four losses in six matches, although that streak included a 2-0 victory away at Arsenal in a superb display. A 3-1 home win over Bournemouth preceded a 2-2 home draw vs Chelsea as they were outshot 21-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After losing 6-2 on aggregate to Olympiakos in the Conference League, their league season petered out. A 1-0 loss at Brighton was followed by a 3-3 draw vs Liverpool and a 5-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace. They began this campaign well, scoring in the 79th\u00a0minute to win 2-1 at West Ham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unai Emery has Emi Buendia available again, but Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings are still out with their long-term knee injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jhon Duran got the winner from the bench at West Ham but is not set to start. Ollie Watkins will keep his place upfront. Jacob Ramsey and Ian Maatsen are both pushing to start with John McGinn and Lucas Digne at threat for their places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Villa will have a lot of confidence going into this match. They will play to win the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emery won\u2019t care too much about the possession numbers, but his side will press hard and break at speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mikel Arteta\u2019s side have won seven straight league matches. It wasn\u2019t enough to lift last season\u2019s title as they lost 2-0 at home to Aston Villa in a crucial defeat. A 5-0 thrashing of Chelsea came soon after, before winning 3-2 at rivals Tottenham having held a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their last three fixtures of the 2023-24 season were a 3-0 win vs Bournemouth, a 1-0 win at Old Trafford, and a 2-1 win vs Everton on the final day. This term started with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Wolves with 18 shots attempted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Takehiro Tomiyasu is still ruled out with an injury, but the Gunners have loads of left-back options. Oleks Zinchenko or Jurrien Timber are set to get the nod ahead of Riccardo Calafiori in that role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas Partey is expected to keep his place in midfield where Fabio Vieira is an injury doubt. Gabriel Martinelli is set to get the nod over Leandro Trossard on the left wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mikel Arteta\u2019s side will be very focused and motivated to win at Villa Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They know the threat carried by Unai Emery\u2019s team and will look to cover the counter-attack. If leading, they could sit back and protect their advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aston Villa<\/strong> have won 4 of their last 11 home EPL matches (15 home wins in a row before that) <\/p>\n\n\n\n This match could be any of the three results. Goals are expected as Unai Emery\u2019s are leaking plenty of late at Villa Park. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aston Villa host Arsenal on Saturday in the English Premier League. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":526888,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","beyondwords_generate_audio":"1","beyondwords_project_id":"20741","beyondwords_content_id":"73dd5e5c-8fe3-47fe-b813-b2a43f1e9110","beyondwords_preview_token":"09471666-dd99-465c-b822-31d46974c393","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"73dd5e5c-8fe3-47fe-b813-b2a43f1e9110","beyondwords_hash":"787b94372fb6af515a37be9c498c2699f6295ff2","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_status":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[1254,969],"tags":[41,1393,283,1301,739,5,1202,72,1547],"yoast_head":"\nAston Villa Form<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
