Arsenal might have fluffed their lines against Bayern Munich in the week, although the Gunners are still ridiculously strong favourites to beat Aston Villa in this Sunday afternoon encounter. The bookies make them heavily likely to overcome opponents who were able to beat them 1-0 in the reverse fixture, with Mikel Arteta’s side having been strong at home this term.
Arteta will check on the fitness of his squad after a draining clash against Bayern although they have the advantage of more rest compared to an Aston Villa side who have a Europa Conference League engagement on Thursday night, with Unai Emery potentially resting some star players for this Sunday encounter.
We are not sure that Arsenal should be priced at such short football odds to win this encounter, although their home form of 12-2-1 is pretty impressive and we know that the London side are generally defensively strong. William Saliba and Gabriel will be looking to rack up another clean sheet in front of David Raya.
Arsenal have conceded just thirteen goals in fifteen home games, with thirty-eight goals scored and we might see Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard among the starters here. The pair combined for their team’s equaliser against Bayern Munich and anyone looking to back Arsenal might want to go for them to win to nil.
