Aston Villa continued their fine run of form in midweek as they made it six wins on the trot across all competitions with a 4-3 victory over Brighton. Unai Emery's side have now only lost two of their last 17 matches in league and cup. Over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Villa's last five outings, and both teams have scored in three of their last four fixtures.
Arsenal secured four points from their two games against Aston Villa last season, with the last meeting between the pair ending in a 2-2 draw. However, this isn't a fixture that the Gunners dominate, as Aston Villa have picked up five wins and a draw from the duo's last 11 Premier League encounters.
Mikel Arteta's side extended their unbeaten run to 18 matches in all competitions thanks to a midweek 2-0 victory at home against Brentford. Both teams have scored in four of the Londoners' last five fixtures, and three of those games have witnessed over 3.5 goals. The Gunners have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight games, so you can see why we are predicting plenty of goalmouth action on Saturday.
Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal
