Aston Villa vs Arsenal 19.03.2022

Aston Villa have steadily improved under Steven Gerrard. Their run of 3 straight wins was however brought to a screeching halt at West Ham last time out, as they lost 2-1 to the Hammers in a closely fought encounter. They are still 9th on the log and should they maintain a top-half finish this season, that will count as a big plus.

Also showing a lot of improvement are the visitors who have jumped into the top four on the back of a solid 5 game winning streak before they were brought back to earth by a superior Liverpool team in their midweek match.

With both teams looking to bounce back from their respective losses, we can expect a physical encounter here and we fancy the game to have at least 3 bookings shown

Main tip: Over 2.5 Bookings (go to tip details)
