Arsenal host Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium, London on Saturday, Apr 17 at 4:00 PM in the Premier League.
Arsenal come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Aston Villa travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Arsenal head into this on the back of a defeat, while Aston Villa arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Arsenal here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Aston Villa, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Aston Villa won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Arsenal look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Aston Villa will make it uncomfortable. Arsenal to win.
