The last time these two sides faced each other, it was Aston Villa who came away with all three points thanks to a John McGinn goal back in December.

If Aston Villa were to win again it would only be the third time the Villans have done the league double against the gunners in the Premier League era, with the other two occurring in the 1992/93 and 2020/21 seasons.

This match will be the 203rd time these clubs have faced each other with the first occurring in 1904 which saw Aston Villa win 1-0 away against Woolwich Arsenal.

Aston Villa have 70 wins against Arsenal, while the Gunners have 87 wins overall against Villa with there being 45 draws between the two sides.

At this point in the season, Arsenal’s top scorer is Bukayo Saka with 18 goals across all competitions, the most recent of which being against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

Leandro Trossard is second for the Gunners this season, finding the net 13 times as well as boasting the best minutes per goal in the Arsenal squad with a goal every 134 minutes. Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz are both in third with 10 goals each.

Arsenal’s top assister is also Bukayo Saka with 13 assists over the course of the season. The Englishman has once again been Arsenal’s top performer this season.

In second it is Martin Ødegaard with 10 assists but the Norwegian has been Arsenal’s most creative player this season with 2.1 chances created per 90 minutes. Gabriel Jesus and Declan Rice are tied in 3rd together with the latter now succeeding on a creative level since taking on set pieces for the Gunners.
