Arsenal (home)
- Arsenal are unbeaten in eight home games in the Premier League this season, winning seven and drawing one.
- The Gunners have lost just one of their last five in all competitions (W4).
Aston Villa (away)

- Since their last Premier League clash ended 2-1 to Aston Villa just two weeks ago, the Villa have strung together five consecutive wins in all competitions, including back-to-back away wins.
Head-to-Head
- Arsenal have failed to win either of their two home matches against Villa, so there is clearly a mental hurdle to overcome for the hosts.
- While Villa have won the last meeting, Arsenal are generally dominant in London and the home crowd should play their part in this top-of-the-table clash.
