Arsenal managers past and present collide in the West Midlands on Saturday evening, when the Gunners make the trip to tackle Unai Emery's Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Aston Villa:

On Saturday evening, Aston Villa will host Arsenal in the Premier League, pitting past and present Arsenal managers Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta against each other. Villa, who kicked off their season with a 2-1 win over West Ham United, are aiming to build on their solid start. Colombian striker Jhon Duran, who had previously hinted at a move to West Ham, made an impactful contribution by scoring the decisive goal against the Hammers. Despite Villa’s tendency to miss chances, Duran’s late goal ended their four-match winless streak in the league and highlighted their intent to stay competitive. Villa Park has been a prolific venue for the Lions, with the team scoring at least twice in their last eight home matches, though they are seeking to regain their previous consistency after a stellar 15-game Premier League home winning run in 2023.

Arsenal:

Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, also started their Premier League campaign with a win, defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0. The Gunners will be looking to continue their strong form and challenge for top positions in the league. Arteta’s side demonstrated solid defensive and attacking capabilities in their opening game, and they aim to build momentum with a victory over Villa. As they face a team managed by their former boss, this match presents a unique challenge and an opportunity for Arsenal to assert their dominance early in the season.

Prediction:  1-3
