Making up ground on Liverpool above them remains the focus for Arsenal in the Premier League currently and the Gunners will need to be at their best here against Aston Villa. It has been a tough couple of weeks for Mikel Arteta’s side, but they remain a team packed with talent, and they will be hopeful of being able to mount a title push. Aston Villa meanwhile continue to plug away under Unai Emery and they know this is a tough one on the road.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Arsenal
It has been a curious start to 2025 for Arsenal under Mikel Arteta and the Gunners do look to be under the pump a touch. A lack of genuine goal threat looks to be their key issue all of a sudden, with some key players missing, whilst discontent is starting to rumble through the fan base and the squad as a whole. They will be eager to get back on track at home in this one though and they are firm favourites with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Ben White, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu miss out here for Arsenal.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Partey, Merino, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz, Trossard & Martinelli.
Aston Villa
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa side are going along pretty nicely in both the Champions League and the Premier League, and this feels like a big game in terms of their aspirations. The Villains are looking to break into the top 4 come the end of the season, for the second campaign in a row and a win here could be significant. Their away form has been poor this term though and Villa need to dig deep in order to pick up any sort of result here in North London.
Team news: Pau Torres, John McGinn, Diego Carlos and Ross Barkley will all miss this one for Villa.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Tielemans, Onana, Kamara, Bailey, Watkins & Duran.
Arsenal vs Aston Villa Prediction
With Champions League and Premier League commitments for both sides to manage in 2025, the stakes in this one are very high for both Aston Villa and hosts Arsenal. The Gunners have really lost their way in the past few games, particularly in forward areas and they will be looking to find their flow once more. Villa meanwhile are a side in decent form, but they need a big result to boost their away record this term, although it doesn’t look likely to come here at the Emirates.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 4/6 (-150) – Rhino Bet.
Arsenal vs Aston Villa – The Ultimate Bet
Arsenal to win & BTTS – 23/10 (+230) – Fitzdares
Aston Villa will be up for this and should pose a threat but Arsenal are a very tough nut to crack at home.
