Arsenal – Aston Villa

Arsenal host Aston Villa in what looks like a one‑sided affair, with the Gunners perched atop the table on 12 points after four flawless wins and a staggering 8‑1 goal difference. Villa, languishing in 19th place with just a single point from a draw and a meagre –6 goal margin, will need a miracle to halt their slide. The head‑to‑head record this season heavily favours Arsenal, who have yet to drop any points, while Villa’s solitary point came against a different opponent. If the current form holds, Arsenal are poised to extend their perfect run and widen the gap at the summit, leaving Villa to fight for survival.
