The Premier League betting sites certainly give Arsenal a chance of overhauling Manchester City this season and denying them a fifth consecutive title. The Gunners have been improving their points tally on a season-by-season basis under Mikel Arteta and they were able to secure a 2-0 victory over Wolves last weekend.
The London side now head to Villa Park in search of another maximum haul and Arsenal are trading at odds-on to secure a victory. They look like a well-oiled machine, with Bukayo Saka hitting the ground running with a fantastic goal after Kai Havertz had put the team ahead, with David Raya pulling off a fantastic save and there’s plenty to like about this team.
However, Aston Villa were able to claim an opening win of their own when triumphing 2-1 at the London Stadium, with Amadou Onana giving the Midlands side an early lead before Jhon Duran then scoring a late winner after coming off the bench. Ollie Watkins lasted an hour and is likely to play a longer role for the visit of Arsenal.
Despite the game only featuring one goal last season, the bookies anticipate that both sides will score in this match, with Over 2.5 Goals also trading at odds-on. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the match ended all square and we expect the clash to be a good deal cagier, although that man Bukayo Saka could make all the difference.
