Match Facts
Aston Villa have lost their last four Premier League games against Arsenal, since winning three games in a row without conceding between July 2020 and February 2021.
Arsenal have lost just two of their last 21 away Premier League games against Aston Villa (W12 D7), losing consecutively in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
Against no side have Arsenal won more Premier League away games than they have against Aston Villa (14, same as West Ham), with their 14 wins at Villa Park also their joint-most at a specific away venue in the competition (also 14 at Selhurst Park – 9 wins vs Crystal Palace and 5 vs Wimbledon).
Aston Villa are winless in eight Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table (D1 L7), losing each of the last five in a row. Their last such victory was in March 2014 (1-0 vs Chelsea).
Aston Villa have won their last 14 home Premier League matches, a run stretching back to March. They’ve never won 15 consecutive home league games in their entire history, previous having 14 wins in a row ending in November 1903 and October 1931.
Since the start of last season, Arsenal have won more away games (17) and more away points (55) than any other Premier League side. The Gunners have also conceded fewer goals on the road than any other ever-present side in that time (24).
Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey has been involved in eight goals in his last 12 Premier League appearances (5 goals, 3 assists), scoring the winner against Man City last time out. The Jamaican hasn’t completed 90 minutes in any of those games, averaging a goal or assist every 63 minutes.
Three of Unai Emery’s five meetings with Arsenal in all competitions have finished level (W1 L1). His only defeat against the Gunners came in his only game against them as Aston Villa boss so far, losing 4-2 in this exact fixture last season.
Gabriel Jesus has been involved in six goals in his last five appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, both scoring and assisting a goal in three separate games in this run.
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has been involved in 11 goals in his 14 Premier League appearances this season (5 goals, 6 assists). Each of his last 10 involvements have either put Arsenal in the lead (8) or drawn them level (2) in the game, while the other one this season turned out to be the winning goal.
