Arsenal v Aston Villa - Sunday 4.30pm. Pre Match Yarn.

[Lastfootstamper]

9-9, with us having staged the mother of all comebacks from 9-5 down with only 3 minutes of normal time left on the clock.

[Footy-Vill]

Arsenal are on a winning streak and scoring for fun. It has to end sometime...

Some Footy insight
Arsenal at home

Can Villa win ? Well Arsenal 2 defeats at home:
Both times Arsenal have lost at home this season once in league and once in FA cup they lost 2-0 (West Ham and Liverpool)

A score draw ?
Arsenal have drawn twice at home in the league this season a score line of 2-2 both times (Fulham and Spurs)
Last match also a 2-2 v Bayern Munich

Arsenal defence is the best in the league, conceded the least goals.
In last 4 matches in the Premier league haven’t conceded a goal
But in 9 of 15 league games at home the away team has scored so 60% of matches they concede at home

[Footy-Vill]

9-9, with us having staged the mother of all comebacks from 9-5 down with only 3 minutes of normal time left on the clock.

Remember the  5-5 draw with Forest and Abraham scoring 4 was historic !
I would take the same today with Watkins scoring 4!

Aston Villa matches in the league this season have seen 115 goals. The second most in the league. . Newcastle matches have the highest amount of goals 120

That means Villa matches average 3.59 a game
The premier league average is 3.24 a game

It would still be last on MOTD.

If awarded :Would you be confident for Watkins taking the penalties in Douglas Luiz absence ?

No

We are due some luck so you never know. A draw would be big.

No

Wasnt there a soundbite at the start of the season, that when they were taking penalties off Ollie, it was either Dougie or McGinn taking over? So I guess McGinn if we get one.

No

Yes. Watkins confidence is up and he now feels he will score most times so I'm more confident then what I was before.

[Skerra]

A good start for us would be Martinez not getting his usual MOM award.

[The Edge]

Our odds on a win are out to 11/1.

Our odds on a win are out to 11/1.

Early inkling on the team news, or just that so much has been lumped on Arsenal?

[jon collett]

Bookies odds are hugely based on where the money is being placed.

[Villa Lew]

If Arsenal are at their best then the chances of us getting anything from the match are probably as good as the chances of Tiger Woods winning The Masters! However there is the Unai factor, returning to Arsenal for the first time, he'll probably be desperate for a victory, so I haven't giving up all hope.

Bet they are all practicising penalties more anyway in case needed on Thursday,
