For the 24th matchday of the English Premier League, Aston Villa welcomes Arsenal to Villa Park in Birmingham.
Aston Villa could not look competitive at the home of Manchester City and was fatally defeated 3-1. In the first half, he could not keep up with the pace of the hosts and went to the locker room with a deficit of 3 goals. In the second half, it was competitive, thanks also to the fact that the home team turned around, but all they managed was to score the goal of honor.
This was the 2nd defeat in a row for Aston Villa and with a total record of 8 wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats it is in 11th place with 28 points, at minus 7 from the 6th and last place which definitely gives a European ticket.
Arsenal underperformed in the postponed midweek game at home to Manchester City and suffered a fateful 3-1 defeat. He found himself behind midway through the first half but got lucky just before the break to level. In the second half, however, she paid for her big defensive mistakes and conceding two goals in the last twenty minutes, she lost the match.
That left Arsenal on 55 points and saw City catch them in first place, in plus 5 from the 3rd Manchester United but having one match less.
Aston Villa comes from two consecutive defeats, but in the last matches, after the change in its bench and the arrival of Emery, it looks significantly improved. Arsenal, for their part, completed 3 league matches away from the three points and must make a reaction. I think we will see a high-paced match with many phases and goals between two teams with offensive quality but at the same time vulnerable defensively.
