There is nothing better than a home match in a reverse fixture to even the score with a Premier League opponent.
Unai Emery (remember him) and his Aston Villains will be coming to north London on Sunday trying to swipe the season series v the Gunners.
If you remember, Villa beat Arsenal 1-0 in their grounds on December 9th. It’s now time to even the score with Aston Villa.
For a little background, Emery’s side are 5-3-2 in their last ten matches in all competitions. They currently stand 5th on the league table.
Mikel Arteta will have his men laser focussed on this match with the understanding the only thing that matters is a win and those precious three points.
With that said, here’s who I predict will start on Sunday for the Gunners…
[4-3-3]
Jesus, Havetz, Saka
Rive, Odegaard, Partey
Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Saliba, White
Raya
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – Aston Villa 1
