Arsenal got out of jail with a last-kick-of-the-ball equaliser against Crystal Palace on Monday night which kept their unbeaten run going, although only just.
The dramatic leveller by Lacazette would have felt like a winner but it did little more than paper over some familiar cracks for the Gunners.
Both they and tonight’s visitors Aston Villa find themselves in the bottom half of the table and a win for either would take them up in to ninth.
The Villans won’t fear a trip to the Emirates where they won in convincing fashion by three goals to nil last season and have in fact won the last three meeting between the sides.
Dean Smith will need to pick his side up after they conceded three in the last 10 minutes against Wolves at the weekend to lose 3-2. If they can regroup and take the positives from the performance then they’re more than capable of troubling an unconvincing Arsenal.
Bet365 make Villa 3/1 to win, while Arsenal just can’t be trusted at odds on. Goals looks like a better route to profit. Over 2.5 goals has landed in the last nine meetings between the sides in North London. Best priced at SBK at 10/11. Alternatively BTTS could also be an option but is shorter at just 3/4.
