The match between Arsenal and Aston Villa promises to be a very interesting match, but I am confident that Arsenal is going to win the game. This is not about revenge, but it's Arsenal showing they want to win the premier league title this season. Arsenal is just 2 points ahead of Manchester City and 3 points ahead of Aston Villa, so they know they can't get anything less than a win if they want to stay on top of the league. I think have got the mentality and they also know that this win is going to be massive in the title race.

Right now Arsenal and Aston Villa are eyeing the league do not think losing to Aston Villa is not possible for Arsenal because Aston Villa is the weapon fashioned against the big teams this season the only way to defeat them is to play against them wish all seriousness then score them as many goals as possible so that it will weaken them from coming all out to attack and pressure them again. Arsenal needs to continue their lead in the league any poor performance from them against Aston Villa they should be ready to go back to second position because Aston Villa will defeat them.

So do you think they will just relax to watch these big teams score them without attacking back, the guys are doing everything possible to prove that they can go home with the title and to whichever team that thinks they are being team, should come out to fight for the competition.
Both teams infact is not only them that's fighting for the league presently, Manchester City is also on course and thats why am loving the competition right now, it getting interesting, it no longer a clear chance for any particular team, it is currently a fight to finish, Arsenal would've taken the title if they maintained their earlier lead but that's not longer the matter now, the three teams that we know currently should fight it, the best among them should win.

Arsenal verse Aston villa on 30 is a game the will not be underrated, looking at the both team position on the table the game is going to be tough, even if arsenal win them which they will it must be a well plan strategic means, just as their Coach Mikel Arteta is using from the inception of the league but need be more tactical. If arsenal thoroughly wins them it will be a do die battle on their next game by Aston villa because they will drop which they will not want such drop to continue.

Against Chelsea Aston Villa wasn't performing well in the first half it was the advantage hdt Chelsea should have utilized to score up to 3 goals, Arsenal may have the same advantage when they play against Aston Villa if they can take advantage of the opportunity they will have in the first or second half when Aston Villa is not fully out who knows if they can get up to 3 goals before Aston Villa starts attacking them. Aston Villa is not going to watch any team defeat them easily but based on their last performance they have little issues attacking very well in the first half.

It's still just speculation and conjecture as we await the Arsenal vs. Aston Villa match. Arteta wants Arsenal to win. Unay Emery also wants Aston Villa to avoid defeat. In this situation, teams like Manchester City stand to gain because Manchester City will face Sunderland.

Arsenal's loss in Round 15 against Aston Villa, in my opinion, was due to luck not being on Arsenal's side, even though they played better than Aston Villa at the time. However, I think people tend to judge based on the final result. Regardless, Arsenal must focus extra hard because Aston Villa is in good form.

I think it's safe to say each season, there is always this special team that do have a winning streak of games. Last season it was Liverpool and they end up winning the game, last 2 seasons in it was Arsenal and they didn't win the League, it's very possible that Aston Villa might not be a threat to Arsenal if they don't lose to them. Arsenal are doing what they know best which is to stay ahead, winning by Aston Villa might not be all that problematic after all.

It's not like Arsenal are not doing there best, the way Atson Villa are unbeatable in their last 11 games in Premier league is the same way Arsenal has done in their last 10 games, they only had 3 draws out of it and doesn't count as loss. It's the way we think Aston Villa are having strong hold on the Premier league this season is the same even Arsenal will not allow them be shame. Any small mistake here, they are going to be broken down and Manchester City will take over.

I doubt the chances of Aston villa winning Arsenal again this season and the last time they won arsenal was not because they played better than Arsenal. Arsenal was playing and possessing while Aston Villa was looking for chance to counter and score and it really worked for them and I believe Arsenal must have seen and learnt from there mistakes and if they can not correct it in their next meeting then arsenal will find themselves below the first position

Chelsea Aston Villa was super strange, in the first half we saw Chelsea completly dominating Aston Villa they can not pass their half, Chelsea have them against Martinez in the whole first half and theydont score more because of some missed shots, in the second half the history was complete diferent with Watkins in the pitch Aston Villa dominates Chelsea and comeback in the result.

Great victory for Unai Emery.

It wasn’t strange to me because I know Chelsea was going to loose that game, I don’t really know why people think Chelsea is now a better team all because they won the Club World Cup which is a Pre-Season cup like Arsenal winning the Emirates Cup, Aston Villa is a better team than Chelsea now and I knew there was no way Chelsea could possibly play against Aston Villa or beating them, which I know it was totally impossible, there is a difference between winning game and dominating a game, you can dominate and don’t win and then you have lost everything.

Chelsea is like a cheat code, Chelsea was very lucky to have qualified for the Champions League last season, but if you ask me I will say they absolutely don’t deserve to qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester City winning the match without wingers is mind blowing. Ryan Cherki is a brilliant baller, currently he is one of my favorite players to watch this season along with Pedri, lamine, olise, mbappe and foden, I wished United got him. After returning from injury, he's been on fire both in stats and the eye test, chances creation, dribbling, creativity, skills, passing, 1v1. Also now he's got the most assist in the league.

Rayan Cherki now has 50 goal contributions across Europe's top five leagues during his career, 16 goals 34 assists. No player has more assists in the Premier League this season than the 22 year old.
Pep is underrated in always finding a space for wingers. He's able to give them options as they transition into this league. Cherki will eventually get found out as all Pep's wingers do. It was a very deserved equaliser for Nottingham forest. Although they played well but they were unlucky not to get a point, but I do think Manchester City will be champions considering their current status in the league.

Arsenal and Aston? where does that leave Manchester City, i would say that city has more chances of winning the league more than Aston villa even if they are in a good form at the moment. city has more drive to win the league, if Arsenal should be lose points in any game city is definitely going to take advantage of that. between these three teams any of them can end up winning the league title

Arsenal and Aston Villa was mentioned because they have a team that is coming up not that I am excluding Manchester City the only them that understands Arteta patterns very well and knows when to overtake them in the league, Manchester City are two points behind Arsenal they are the closest team to outshine them should they make any mistakes and from my own calculations if Manchester City takes over the first position it will not take time for Aston Villa to go behind them because when Arsenal starts losing after being on top of the league for a long time, you will see them losing 5 matches straight. Manchester City and Aston Villa are my favorite for the league right now.

Big game coming up this weekend as gunners have to once again face Aston Villa. Last time they both meet, Villa won the game because of Buendía fantastic goal in  90'+5' minute of the game. Both teams are strong contender for the title and Arsenal need to win upcoming game to show their strength by beating top contender for the title. The match will be played at Arsenal home ground and that will give them an advantage over Villa. It will be interesting to see the position of Arsenal, City and Villa on next weekend. The points gap is narrow and top three are battling hard for the number one position.

Villa are on an incredible run right now — 11 wins in a row in all competitions, which already matches a club record. But this next game is a big test. They have to go away to Arsenal, and they’ll be without Kamara and Cash because of suspensions. That makes it even harder. Arsenal at home won’t be easy at all, so if Villa get anything from this match, it will say a lot about them. Even if the streak ends, what they’re doing this season is still very impressive.

Guardiola has made changes in his transfer plans as you might have heard. He doesn't want the team to splurge on a player anymore. He just wants efficiency with transfers.

This is why we didn't see Manchester City spending a huge amount on a player last summer. Their biggest spending was on Reijnders which cost €55m. The rest were around €30m. 

Cherki has also been signed for a ridiculous amount thanks to Lyon's poor condition then. Now he shines here and has a great future I sense.

Great victory for Unai Emery.

According to a statistic I saw on social media, Aston Villa achieved an 11-game winning streak 111 years later. Undoubtedly, Unai Emery deserves most of the credit for this success. Chelsea had the upper hand in both score and play in the first half of the match, but things changed in the second half, especially with Ollie Watkins entering the game. As soon as Ollie Watkins entered the game, he brought the match to a draw, aided by a bit of luck. He became the man of the match with his second goal, but if it weren't for Sanchez's successful saves, Aston Villa could have ended the match earlier with him. I think the first half was one match, and the second half was another. I share similar views with you...

You guys are looking at how Arsenal are only going to win Aston villa in their encounter without also looking at the possibility of Aston villa winning them as well, Both teams are in form right now and I'm not underestimating Aston at all, it a 50-50 game to me regardless of Arsenal being the host team here or even the bigger team if we compare there overall past season forms and performances. Aston already know that Arsenal is a big threat and will have good preparation against Arsenal.

[Pandu Geddon]

The victory proves that they are still playing consistently, not just getting lucky to beat other strong teams. I think Aston Villa, with their current performance, deserves their current position in the standings. Previously, they defeated Arsenal and United, and now Chelsea has to lose by the same score. In their next match, Aston Villa will also face Arsenal again; maybe the situation will be different, but hopefully, they can perform well too.

Aston Villa are in such good form at the moment, the next match against Arsenal is a huge opportunity for them to equal their points. I think the match is going to be a challenging one for Arsenal because Aston Villa have become a strong team that can beat any good team. I feel more confident about them after the win against Chelsea. They are already in third place and are only 3 points behind Arsenal at the top.

The reason why Arsenal will find it challenging to win the match against them is because most of the players in the team are playing well and the team performance is great. The players in the defense, midfield and attack are able to contribute equally without being overly dependent on any one or two players. I think Aston Villa will win.

We have already seen how Aston Villa plays; they have good teamwork across the lines, and they show strength. But I guess Arsenal will not repeat the same mistakes. They can study the game and prepare tactics to break down Aston Villa's teamwork. 
The match will indeed be quite good for the competition at the top of the Premier League standings. Although I’m not sure Liverpool can catch up, the battle among the top 3 teams will be interesting for the coming weeks.

The Aston Villa against Arsenal match is going to be difficult and an interesting game to watch. Arsenal are a little unbalanced because they are only two points ahead of Manchester City. They will be playing every match with desperation because they're afraid of losing the top position.

Aston Villa are in red hot form with straight wins without even a draw. I think they'll love to maintain their unbeaten streak but I don't think they'll succeed in getting the three points with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. As for Arsenal I'm fully hoping they'll do whatever it takes to get the three points at their home ground to break Aston Villa unbeaten run.

Smiles should we see the game as the final match for Arsenal? Lolz this is really gonna be a one of a kind match very interesting Mikel Arteta and his boys are doing everything within their power to lift the English premier League title this season while Unai Emery and his boys are also trying to show relevant in the league this season and they are likely to be called the title contenders based on their present performance, it will sure gonna be tough for the both sides and I can't really predict the outcome to me the lucky team should win and I sincerely hope for Arsenal to be the lucky team.
