Betting preview for Aston Villa vs Arsenal
Arsenal left it late - very late in fact - to clinch the three points at Luton in midweek in a dramatic game.
Mikel Arteta won't have been pleased to see David Raya chuck two in his own net mind you, so that'll lead to a dilemma for the Gunners boss who was booked for celebrating Declan Rice's late goal.
They have a two-point cushion over Liverpool in second heading into the weekend, with chief threats Manchester City a further four points behind them.
- Draw at 5/2 with Ladbrokes -

Betting tips for Aston Villa vs Arsenal
Ollie Watkins to score first 5/1 with Ladbrokes -
Drew a blank against City in midweek which ended a four-match scoring streak.
A constant threat and will be again, against an Arsenal defence that shipped three just the other night.
Has opened the scoring in two of the last three visits of Arsenal here.
Aston Villa have won eight of their last ten games, while Arsenal have won their last six.
So something has to give - though it could be they both keep their undefeated runs going.
Arsenal have snatched three points late on in two of their last four games but Villa have something more about them.
Don't think either side will be too unhappy with this outcome.
Big central midfielder will want to dominate against the Arsenal midfield three who are all comfortable on the ball.
Booked in two of his last three Villa outings - including midweek - and can make it a quickfire hat trick at good odds.
