One of the surprise packages in the league this season, Aston Villa are turning heads with their impressive displays. That said, they are going through a rough patch recently, one that has seen them drop down to 9^th-place.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have risen from their early-season ruins to begin racking up points to climb up the standings. Having suffered their first defeat of 2021 last time out, the Gunners will be looking to set the record straight here.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal Team News

After scraping to secure Premier League survival last season, many expected Aston Villa to endure another relegation battle this time around. But these ones are exceeding pre-season expectations to mount a continental qualification charge.

Quick off the blocks, the Villa looked a whole different breed earlier in the season, winning games and scoring goals for fun. Famously, they did a number on reigning champions Liverpool on matchday 3, seeing them off via an emphatic 7-2 win.

However, Villa has since slowed down, registering a paltry two wins from their previous five matches, to sit in ninth-place on the log. Slowly, Dean Smith’s men are dropping off the table’s top-half, and out of European qualification reckoning.

Scheduled to take on fellow overachievers West Ham in midweek, Aston Villa were swept aside by the opposition, even on home turf. The Hammers’ Lingard ran the show on the day, scoring a brace to put the Lions to the sword, as they fell to yet another defeat.

With a game against Arsenal on the horizon, Villa will be hoping for a favorable result to return to winning ways. Once embroiled in a heated battle in the drop-zone, the Gunners have since gotten their acts together to arrest that slump.

Enjoying a seven-game unbeaten run since late-December, Arsenal have managed to sneak into the top-half of the standings, having accrued 31 points from a possible 66. They were deprived of a win last time out to tricky Wolves, who roared to a 2-1 victory.

In a game where the referee was called to action far too many times, the Gunners picked up two red cards as they suffered a massive numerical handicap. Arteta’s boys must try to be less aggressive in their tackles to prevent a repeat of the fracas of the previous match.

Injured or Suspended Players

Aston Villa: No injuries or suspensions.

Should David Luiz have avoided that red card on the last matchday, Arsenal would probably have scored more goals to comfortably win the game. However, the controversial sending-off changed the course of the game – one that the Gunners had been controlling.

Now, they will be hurt from that defeat, and Villa are in danger of being victims of an Arsenal backlash here. Also, the Villa aren’t likely to start all their first-team regulars, given the fitness concerns in their squad. With these, we are tipping Arteta’s men to secure all three points come fulltime.
