In what is a blockbuster Premier League showdown on Tuesday night, Arsenal will welcome Aston Villa to north London.
With their sights firmly set on securing a first domestic crown since way back in 2004, the Gunners are leading the chase at the top of the Premier League table and will be looking to make another heavyweight statement in midweek.
Embarking on what has become a sensational fairytale and shattering a string of long-standing records, Unai Emery’s men will travel to the Emirates sat within touching distance of climbing to the top of the table.
With all eyes falling on north London on Tuesday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Arsenal vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips.
Arsenal seeking some defensive stability
Leading the chase at the top of the Premier League table, Arsenal are sat in the driving seat to get their hands on a first domestic crown since way back in 2004.
However, although Mikel Arteta’s side might have secured a 2-1 victory at home against Brighton over the weekend and extended their winning run to five matches across all competitions, Arsenal know the importance of finding some defensive stability.
With both Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba dealing with respective injury issues over the past couple of months, the Gunners have failed to record consecutive clean sheets since the start of November.
Despite extending on their EFL Cup adventure last week as they punched their semi-final spot thanks to a nail-biting penalty shootout victory against Crystal Palace, Arsenal have registered just a trio of clean sheets from their last 11 outings across all fronts.
Falling to a last-gasp 2-1 defeat when they travelled to the Midlands for their reverse Premier League battle on December 6th, Arteta’s inconsistent defence will be asked some serious questions.

Villa’s record-breaking flurry
While Aston Villa might have endured a stuttering start when opening up the 2025/26 campaign back in August, Emery’s side have come roaring back in a record-breaking fashion.
Mounting a stunning comeback away at Stamford Bridge over the weekend as they eventually left west London with a 2-1 victory, the former Arsenal boss has seen his high-flying squad receive a string of plaudits from across the continent.
Opening Tuesday’s trip to the Emirates remarkably sat just three points adrift of leapfrogging Arsenal and finding a route to the top of the Premier League table, Villa are riding a famous wave of momentum.
Although Emery might have been quick to play down Villa’s title credentials, the Premier League high-flyers have won all of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions.
Securing that stunning 2-1 victory when they welcomed Arsenal to the Midlands for their reverse Premier League battle last month, Villa are more than capable of collecting another famous domestic scalp here.

Keep an eye on Watkins
Opening December with just a single Premier League goal to his name, there was mounting speculation over Ollie Watkins’ future in the Midlands ahead of the January transfer window.
However, coming off the bench at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening and notching a stunning top-flight brace in west London, the England international will certainly be handed a full recall here.
Getting December underway with another pair of Premier League strikes during Villa’s action-packed 4-3 victory away at Brighton, Watkins has now registered five direct goal contributions in his last six matchups across all competitions.
Meeting an Arsenal defence who have registered just a trio of clean sheets from their last 11 outings, the former Brentford striker should also be excited by a stellar record in north London.
In fact, along with finding the net in back-to-back trips to the Emirates, the 29-year-old has also notched four goals in his last five showdowns in north London.
