With a goal from Aubameyang, via penalty, Arsenal achieved a revitalizing victory in the Premier League against the complicated Manchester United; and visiting. Prior to that, the ‘Gunners’ had suffered two defeats in a row, both by the slightest difference, against Leicester and Manchester City. In addition, that recent league victory is more important due to the quality of the rival, taking into account that their 3 previous wins were against teams of poor level.
Additionally, the London cast has been comfortably winning their Europa League matches.
At the helm we have an Aston Villa that has been deflating after a promising start. His 4 consecutive victories at the start of the Premier, with 7-2 over Liverpool as the highest point of his performance, are lagging behind. The ‘vilanos’ have lost their two recent matches, both at home, and receiving 7 goals against. First Leeds thrashed them 0-3 and then Southampton did the same – by 0-4 – but those of Birmingham discounted in the final minutes.
On July 20, Aston Villa beat Arsenal 1-0. Until then, the ‘gunners’ had 7 consecutive wins over the ‘villains’.
Against Leicester, Arsenal lost at home for the first time this year: 9 wins and 2 draws.
As a visitor Aston Villa has beaten Fulham and Leicester.
