Villa Park will host one of the most intriguing fixtures of the Premier League weekend as Aston Villa take on Arsenal. The hosts are eager to respond after a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Brighton on the opening day, although the contest changed dramatically when Joao Gomes was sent off just before half-time. Gomes is suspended for this match, while Johan Manzambi and Amadou Onana remain unavailable through injury. Villa have struggled for consistency lately, losing six of their last 10 matches in all competitions, while conceding 1.80 goals per game over that period.
Arsenal, on the other hand, made a perfect start to the new campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Coventry City. The Gunners looked solid at both ends of the pitch and have been particularly impressive away from home, winning three of their last four away matches while conceding just 0.75 goals per game on average. Jurrien Timber and William Saliba remain sidelined, but Mikel Arteta's side coped well without them last weekend. Summer signing Bruno Guimaraes is expected to retain his place after a strong debut display.
As Arsenal have won 20 of the previous 34 meetings with Villa, who failed to impress in their season opener, Away Win should be considered. Additionally, Arsenal Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (68% H2H) markets seem tempting.
This Premier League match will be played on Monday 31 August 2026 at 20:00.
