The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of fixtures this weekend as Arsenal lock horns with Steven Gerrard's impressive Aston Villa side in an important clash at Villa Park on Saturday.
Aston Villa vs Arsenal Preview
Aston Villa are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have improved after a poor start to their campaign. The hosts slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham United last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have exceeded expectations so far this season. The Gunners suffered a comprehensive 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in their previous game and will need to work hard to keep their top-four spot this year.
