Aston Villa v Arsenal – Monday, 8pm

View all available markets at William Hill

• Aston Villa enjoyed a memorable campaign last season, finishing fourth in the Premier League and lifting the UEFA Europa League, but there are question marks heading into the new term especially following their 4-0 hammering against Brighton in their opener last weekend.
• Despite that big loss last weekend, Aston Villa have a tendency to beat the reining champions on home soil, something they’ve done on their last three meetings, whilst they’ve won two of their last three meetings at Villa Park against Arsenal.
• However, playing this fixture on a Monday evening means that history is against Unai Emery’s side, as Villa are winless in their last six Monday-held league games (D4, L2), they can be backed to win this one at 5/1 with William Hill.

• Arsenal finally ended their 22‑year wait for a Premier League title last season and the Gunners have started the defence of their title perfectly with a 3-0 victory against Coventry on the opening evening of the new campaign.
• Mikel Arteta’s side had the best away record in the English top-flight last season but they’ll be tested here, despite winning fifteen Premier League games at Villa Park, more than they have at an other away venue in the competition, they did lose 2-1 here back in December.
• Arsenal have won their first away game in each of their last four Premier League campaigns, all of which were accompanied with a clean sheet in the process, William Hill make the champions the 1/2 odds-on favourites to win here on Monday evening.
