In their last three matches, Arsenal won 0-1 against Everton, before recording a draw in a 1-1 match against Crystal Palace. They were back on top last time out, defeating Brighton 2-1. Arsenal have been nothing short of fabulous at their home ground in the six most recent Premier League matches here. They quite simply claimed a maximum 18 points, scoring 13 while conceding three goals. Naturally, this is the best points total in the Premier League across the last six games.

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. West Ham got left behind in a 2-3 win, before Manchester United got hammered in a 2-1 victory. Chelsea was the most recent victim in a 1-2 win for Aston Villa. Aston Villa picked up five wins from a possible six on their recent travels in the Premier League, while scoring 13 and conceding ten goals. They also lost once while drawing none.

We expect Arsenal to make home advantage count but equally, we do not expect a festival of goals against Aston Villa. Hence, our punt on the home win in a match with no more than three goals.
