Arsenal, Recent FormArsenal enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 home win over Fulham last time out in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 72%, while racking up 22 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Fulham, who had 11 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Their boss Mikel Arteta has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 16 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
Martin Ødegaard will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Arsenal.
Aston Villa, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by West Ham United will have left the Aston Villa squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 58% and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to West Ham United, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Steven Gerrard will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Ollie Watkins is the man of the moment at Aston Villa right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Arsenal.
In their previous 3 away games at Arsenal, The Villans have managed to score a goal in each match. When Aston Villa visit The Gunners in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
Aston Villa has lost the last 2 times they've faced Arsenal in the league.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Reiss Nelson (Muscle), Thomas Partey (Thigh) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon) and Tyrone Mings (Illness) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steven Gerrard will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
