Arsenal vs Aston Villa Prediction: The Gunners’ Consistency Tested
London, Beritasatu.com – After breaking the negative trend, Arsenal’s consistency was tested when they hosted Aston Villa in the 22nd week of the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday (19/1/2024) at 00.30 WIB. Previously, Arsenal managed to score a 2-1 victory over city rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.
The victory ended Arsenal’s negative trend after being held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton, losing 0-2 to Newcastle United in the first leg of the League Cup, and being knocked out by Manchester United on penalties in the third round of the FA Cup.
Coach Mikel Arteta hopes that his team will be able to maintain the momentum of victory over Tottenham in the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match later. However, Arteta realizes that Aston Villa is a tough opponent. This is based on the experience of Aston Villa’s two defeats last season.
“They are a good team, that’s why they beat us last season. We know how difficult they are, that’s why they performed so well. Great players, and a great coach,” said Arteta as reported Reuters.
Arsenal need a win to continue to overshadow league leaders Liverpool. Arsenal, who have played 21 matches, are now four points behind Liverpool with one game less.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa is in a good trend after going through the last three matches with wins. Aston Villa won 2-1 over Leicester City, won 2-1 over West Ham in the FA Cup, and won 1-0 over Everton thanks to Ollie Watkins’ single goal at Goodison Park.Also Read: Brentford vs Liverpool Prediction: The Reds Look for First Win in the 2025 Premier League
Coach Unai Emery hopes that the consecutive wins can increase the players’ confidence in facing Arsenal.
However, Emery believes that his team still has a chance to take home the three points as long as they can appear confident.
“We can feel a little confidence after winning at Everton. However, the challenge tomorrow is to appear competitive so that we can get close to achieving good results. Tomorrow’s game will be very, very difficult. “Every match we face is very, very difficult,” said Emery regarding the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match.
