LiontipsArsenal vs Aston Villa. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (October 22, 2021).
Command Analysis
Arsenalhave been in crisis for a few years. Last season, the Londoners demonstrated uninspiring play and failed to get European football or win a trophy, which is unacceptable for a club with such stellar roster. In the offseason, the club spent a large amount of money on new signings, but there haven't been any noticeable improvements so far.
Mikel Arteta's charges had a solid start in the EFL League Cup, defeating West Bromwich (6:0) and AFC Wimbledon (3:0), and made it to the last 16. In the Premier League, however, the Gunners are only 12th with 11 points in the asset. After a three-game winning streak, Arsenal drew with Brighton (0:0) and Crystal Palace (2:2). The offensive line of the Gunners is looking very poor; in 8 games, Arsenal scored only 7 goals.
Xhaka has a knee injury and has been ruled out of this fixture.
Last season, Aston Villa finished 11th in the Premier League, which was a successful result for the Lions. In the new edition of the Premier League, Aston Villa haven't been very confident so far; they won 3 games and one match ended in a draw. With 10 points earned, the Villans sit in 13th place in the table, right behind Arsenal.
After beating Manchester United (1:0), Aston Villa suffered two defeats in a row from Tottenham (1:2) and Wolverhampton (2:3). After smashing Barrow (6:0) in August, Villa were knocked out of the EFL League Cup by Chelsea (1:2 P).
Trezeguet, Bailey, Davis, and Traore are sidelined through injuries.
