Aston Vila vs. Arsenal

Aston Vila is in great form this season, they are holding 3rd position, surprisingly but this is due to the fact that they are in good form and that all the other favorites are underperforming. Vila has reported injured: Bouma, Carew, and captain Laursen who’s doubtful for the match. Aston Vila has 1 win 2 draws and 1 lost game in the last 4 home matches.

While Aston Vila has no problems with injuries this is not the case with Arsenal, they’ve lost the team captain Fabregas for 4 months and Wenger is looking for a replacement during this period, the possible replacements are: Inler, Xabi Alonso, and Miguel Veloso. Besides the loss of Fabregas, Adebayor will have to serve his ban, and to continue with Arsenal’s misery there are also: Bendtner, Toure, Walcott, Rosicky, and Eduardo as injured.
Wenger will have to play with his second team; the only bright light is the excellent performance of Nasri, who’s been in sensational form this season.

Prediction: Aston Vila @ 2.47
