Aston Villa vs Arsenal, Saturday 12.30pm
Arsenal managed to grind out a 1-0 win at Villa Park last season in the early Saturday kick-off slot after being beaten by Liverpool on that previous Wednesday night. History can repeat itself. Yes, the stakes and pressures are higher this season with them going for the title rather than just top four, but Mikel Arteta's team are capable of being robust on the road, keeping seven clean sheets away from home this season in 11 fixtures.
