Aston Villa vs Arsenal Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Villa Park Date: 31st August 2026 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Aston Villa host Arsenal at Villa Park on Monday evening as the hosts look to arrest a torrid run of results against opponents who have shown genuine promise in patches of their own pre-season.
Villa’s form could hardly be worse heading into this one. Their most recent outing ended in a 4-0 home defeat to Brighton in the league. Prior to that, a 2-1 loss away at Borussia Monchengladbach continued a difficult spell. Before that, a 2-1 defeat away at PSG in the Super Cup extended the run further. Earlier in this run, a 2-1 loss away at Bayern Munich preceded a 3-1 win away at Pathum United, completing a five-match sequence of one win and four losses.
Arsenal’s form has been mixed but with signs of quality. Their most recent outing brought a 3-0 home win over Coventry in the league. Prior to that, a 3-0 home win over Manchester City in the Community Shield was a statement result. Before that, a penalty shootout win over Como following a 1-1 draw continued the good run. Earlier in this run, a 2-3 home defeat to Dortmund and a 1-3 home loss to Betis in the Emeriates complete a five-game spell of three wins and two losses.
The head-to-head record between the two sides is closely balanced, with Arsenal and Aston Villa winning two of the last five meetings apiece and one draw. Most recently, Arsenal won 4-1 at home. In the previous encounter, Aston Villa won 2-1 at home.
