English Premier
2010-11-24 - Aston Villa vs Arsenal
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Aston Villa welcome Arsenal to Villa Park and they will be hoping to caue an upset and get out from the relegation battle at the bottom end. Villa have lost their last two games against both Manchester sides and now they face another tough hurdle as they are set to host Arsenal at Villa Park.
Their head to head records with Arsenal does not make good reading as they have won none of their last 13 Premier League home games against the Gunners. Villa were leading 2-0 against Manchester United only to lose 2-3 and their home form does not make good reading, having won only two of their last 18 home games in the top flight.
Meanwhile, The Gunners enters this match boosted by wins in the north London derby against Tottenham and the midweek win over Montpellier, which effectively sealed their place in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
Arsene Wenger side had lost just one of their previous 12 Premier League away games before losing their last two on the road against Norwich and Manchester United and now they will want to close the distance between them and the top four with all three points here.
