THE PREDICTION
A trip to London to face league-leaders Arsenal is hardly the fixture Steven Gerrard needs right now, with the Aston Villa boss under pressure for the first time since he took over the reigns last November. Arsenal just seem to have that winning mentality right now, with their victory over Fulham on Saturday perhaps the kind of game they wouldn’t have won 12 months ago. They will be determined to keep their winning run going, and against this underperforming Villa side, they can be backed to do just that.
TIP: ARSENAL TO WIN
