Arsenal vs Aston Villa 31.08.2022

Arsenal’s 100% start to the season will face another test in this mid-week home tie against Aston Villa. With 4 wins in 4 league games, the Gunners are enjoying a good run which has seen them remain top of the log. So far, Arteta’s managerial prowess and Arsenal’s summer acquisition seem to be paying off as the North Londoners hope to prove doubters wrong one game at a time. Having missed out on last season’s top 4 battle, Arsenal would be keen on reestablishing themselves as the season unfolds.

For Aston Villa, things are not looking so good at the moment. A run of 1 win in the last 4 league games has seen them drop to 15th on the table. This means if things don’t turn around in earnest, Steven Gerrard might have some questions to answer

Looking at how well they have performed so far, Arsenal have certainly strengthened their credentials as a growing force under Mikel Arteta. In this tie, we expect that run to continue against an inconsistent Aston Villa side. Hence, we are backing the Gunners to score at least twice here.
