Aston Villa is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won 5 of their last 6 matches with no losses in that span and they are going to have a lot of confidence here as they are coming off of a 1-0 win against Man City. When playing at home, they have been in much better form as they have won their last 8 straight matches there, averaging over 2 goals scored per match and under 1 goal allowed per match in that span. They are going up against an Arsenal side that has also been in very good form in their recent matches as they have won their last 6 straight matches, but they were not great in their last match despite winning. They beat Luton Town 4-3 in their last match but Luton Town has one of the worst squads in the Premier League this year and they needed a very late goal in stoppage time to win that match. Arsenal has a very good attack but they are going to struggle against this Aston Villa defense that just kept Man City out of their net for 90 mins. Aston Villa has a very good defense but they also have a very potent attack themselves, especially at home, and they are going to be pushing for points from this match whether it be in a win or a draw. Aston Villa will win this match at home or at least draw, take Aston Villa +0.5 here.
England Premier League: Aston Villa +0.5, Rot. 200142
