Arsenal:

Arsenal will be looking to maintain their title challenge as they host Aston Villa at the Emirates on Saturday evening. After a crucial 2-1 victory in the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, the Gunners are back to winning ways and sit second in the Premier League, just four points behind leaders Liverpool. Arsenal have been dominant at home this season, collecting 24 points from a possible 30, and remain unbeaten at the Emirates in the league. Mikel Arteta’s men will be keen to continue their strong form on home soil, especially after their 2-0 loss to Villa last April, which dented their title hopes. With their sights set on top spot, Arsenal will look to avenge last season’s defeat and continue their push for the title.


Aston Villa:

Unai Emery's Aston Villa are in strong form as they make the trip to North London to face Arsenal. Villa have won their last three matches in all competitions, including back-to-back 2-1 victories over Leicester City and West Ham United, as well as a 1-0 win at Everton in midweek. Emery’s side has surged up to seventh place, just three points off the Champions League spots, and are starting 2025 on a high. Villa will be buoyed by their recent success at Arsenal, having delivered a 2-0 victory over the Gunners last April, which was their most recent Premier League loss at home. However, after a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in August, Villa will look to replicate their earlier triumph in this fixture and continue their charge for European football.
