Prediction

  • Aston Villa extended their league winning run to 13 matches with a 1-0 win over Manchester City on Wednesday night. The Villans are high on confidence following such an impressive performance and win, and will look to maintain that run against the league leaders.
  • Arsenal earned a late 4-3 win at Luton to keep their place at the top of the table. The Gunners were the last team to beat Aston Villa at Villa Park and boast the best away record in the division.
  • This should be an entertaining encounter at Villa Park, and it's Villa who may well edge out the Gunners on Saturday evening.
