Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes are back on track after a thrilling 3-2 win over Tottenham in the North London derby! That victory puts them just four points behind leaders Liverpool. The Gunners are on a fantastic unbeaten run, stretching to 11 matches, thanks to their resilience and dominance at the Emirates. They haven’t lost at home in their last 13 Premier League games, with their last home defeat back in April against Aston Villa.
Unai Emery is back at his old club, leading Aston Villa, who recently turned things around with three straight 1-0 wins. Now sitting in the league’s top seven, Villa is looking to improve their away form. They snagged a win at Everton last time, but overall, they’ve only managed two wins in their last eight away games, with four of those losses by two or more goals.
On the bright side, Emery has a solid track record against Arsenal, having avoided defeat in four of six matches against them.
Arsenal: With Gabriel Jesus sidelined, Leandro Trossard is stepping up big time! He scored a crucial goal against Spurs and also found the net in Arsenal’s earlier 2-0 win over Villa this season.
Aston Villa: Keep an eye on Morgan Rogers, who’s been on fire with five goals in as many matches. The 21-year-old is eager to add to his tally after already scoring in North London this season.
Arsenal: 1/2 (66.7%)
