Aston Villa vs Arsenal Score Prediction
This is a bigger game than Liverpool. This is the biggest game of the season now.
What dropping points would do here both for their top four rivals as well as their own confidence could heavily swing the tide. It’s all about recovering well and reacting immediately with a result at Villa Park, one where the scoreline is all that matters. Performance comes second in this one.
Even if Arsenal had beaten Liverpool this game was one where a slip-up felt highly plausible. You know at some stage that this team would drop points in a game they’re fancied in, and a raucous Villa Park against a team in a strong run of form has all the hallmarks of an unwanted outcome.
Add to that the travel up to the midlands having just played an energy sapping game against Liverpool and the worry creeps in.
What are the positive omens? Well, Villa tend to buckle against those at the top end of the table with them losing every top-eight clash against sides not called Manchester United. The other reassuring aspect is that Arsenal are themselves playing brilliantly right now. That mustn’t be forgotten.
Had they have produced the performance against Liverpool against any side in the Premier League other than Manchester City they would be three points better off. Thomas Partey is in the form of his life and both wide players can cause anyone problems.
Lacazette will sharpen his elbows for Mings and Chamebrs while Odegaard will relish getting on the ball more in dangerous positions, having been starved of that in midweek, and even if they’re shattered the team will be well up for this one.
However, it’s tough to shake the crippling worry. A fixture that draws concern even before a ball is kick in the season could be a costly one. The fear has set in for an upset and a result that foes against the run of play.
