Who will win Arsenal vs. Aston Villa?

While they remain at the top of the pile, it would be fair to say that Arsenal have not looked as strong in recent weeks as they did in the opening months of the season.

In fact, the Gunners may have won each of their last three Premier League matches, but it is notable that the winner against Brighton was an own goal.

Additionally, both of the Londoners' goals in their 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers were self-inflicted by the Old Gold, and it took a penalty for Arsenal to beat Everton 1-0.

By contrast, Villa have grown into the 2025-26 campaign after a lacklustre start, and are now in the midst of a staggering 11-game winning streak across all competitions.

As part of that run, Emery's side came out on top in a 2-1 triumph over Arteta's men earlier this month, something that the Lions will be sure to draw confidence from.

With that in mind, expect to see a closely-fought contest on Tuesday, but if any team looks more likely to secure a vital victory, then it is Villa.
