Match Preview: Arsenal v Aston Villa (Premier League)
A confident Arsenal team take on Aston Villa tomorrow afternoon in a exciting-looking Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsene Wenger’s side go into the game on the back of two excellent victories over Manchester United and Wigan Athletic, Arsenal will, for sure, go into the match full of confidence and will be looking to continue their winning run, despite the fact that Aston Villa have never lost any match at the Emirates Stadium.
Having suffered two back-to-back league defeats for the first time this season, Aston Villa are not in the most postive of situations at the moment. So, they will look for a improved performance in the chilly North London atmosphere tomorrow.
Wenger is set to bring back his top guns including Cesc Fabregas, William Gallas, Emmanuel Adebayor, Theo Walcott and Mikael Silvestre for the match against Aston Villa. However, Emmanuel Eboue (knee), Tomas Rosicky (knee) and Eduardo da Silva (broken leg) will remain sidelined due to their injuries. Star striker Robin van Persie will serve the second of his two-match suspension imposed on his as he picked up a red card in the defeat to Stoke City.
Aston Villa striker John Carew is doubtful for the tip to London with his hip injury, while Stiliyan Petrov and Luke Young are expected to return to action with this match.
Predicted Arsenal Line-Up:
Almunia
Sagna – Gallas – Silvestre – Clichy
Walcott – Fabregas – Denilson – Nasri
Adebayor – Bendtner
Match Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Aston Villa

Do u really think Adebayor will be fit tomorrow? I don’t think he will be 100% meaning he will be on the bench. Anyway as Wilshere was subbed early he may be in contention to play.
I think its possible, although Le Boss could stick with the same formation that did so well against United.
Wilshere subbed early? He came off in the 77th minute. It’s almost guaranteed that Jack will be on the bench.
Interesting suggestions though, I’d personally love to see Ade start.
Fabianski
Sagna Gallas Silvestre Clichy
Walcott Fabregas Denilson Nasri
Diaby
Bendtner
prediction: 2-1
Goals: Diaby, Bendtner
Congrats to the kids midwk once again, however i choked on my cornflakes when i read this comment this morning by Benetiz
He said: “Arsenal played well, that’s clear. But it’s important to know that they’re spending big money on young players and have been doing so for the 12 or 13 years that Arsene Wenger has been in charge.”
