Aston Villa vs Arsenal Prediction (7:30 p.m. December 6), Premier League 2025-2026

Aston Villa are on a strong run and pose a big challenge for Arsenal in the clash at Villa Park, especially as the Gunners are facing a defensive crisis due to injuries.

Aston Villa are showing a strong comeback in the recent period of the Premier League 2025-2026. After a slow start with 5 first matches of the season without knowing the taste of victory, coach Unai Emery's team has created a spectacular breakthrough.

Aston Villa celebrate after scoring at Villa Park, reflecting on their fine form in the Premier League this season.

Villa have now climbed to third place in the table with 27 points, and are now three points clear of Chelsea. Being only six points behind leaders Arsenal gives Villa Park a great chance to keep their hopes alive of making it into the title race, especially if they get a positive result in their next match against Arsenal.

On the other hand, Arsenal are still maintaining their position as the Premier League's leading team. With stable performance and significantly improved spirit under coach Mikel Arteta, the Gunners currently own 5 points more than the defending champion Man City, the biggest rival in the long-term race.

However, the North London side’s performances have not been entirely convincing in recent times. They have drawn two of their last four games, showing a certain slowdown as the schedule has started to tighten and key players have had problems.

Arsenal are facing a major loss in terms of personnel in defence. Starting centre-back duo Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba are doubtful, while Mosquera also picked up an injury against Brentford.

Arsenal players tried their best but faced difficulties with the problem of force when many key defenders were injured.

The loss of a series of key players in the back line will certainly significantly affect Arsenal's ability to control and organize defense, especially in the context of having to play away at Villa Park, a place that is considered a "death ground" for many big teams this season.

Recent head-to-head statistics also show that Aston Villa is not an easy opponent for Arsenal. In the last 5 encounters in the Premier League, each team has won 2 and drawn 1 match.

This reflects the balance in recent encounters, and also confirms that Aston Villa are fully capable of causing difficulties for the team leading the rankings.

Aston Villa's excellent form, confidence at home and coach Unai Emery's understanding of Arsenal make them a real challenge for Mikel Arteta and his team.

If they can take advantage of their advantage and continue to maintain the stability they have shown over the past two months, the home team at Villa Park will be able to win at least one point, even aim for victory to continue to chase in the leading group.

Force information:

Aston Villa: Mings, Barkley injured.

Arsenal: Gabriel and Havertz are injured. Mosquera, Saliba, Rice and Trossard are doubtful of playing.

Expected lineup:

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Kamara, Tielemans, Buendia, Rogers, Watkins.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Hincapie, Timber, Lewis-Skelly, Zubimendi, Merino, Eze, Saka, Martinelli, Gyokeres.

Prediction: Aston Villa 0-2 Arsenal.
