Arsenal will aim to stay top of the table when they face struggling Aston Villa on the Premier League TV schedule this week.
The Gunners have made a terrific start to the 2022/23 season with four wins in four games marking real signs of progress since last term.
New captain Martin Odegaard has led by example with three goals in four matches to inspire his team to victory and Mikel Arteta will demand consistency from his main men going forward.
Aston Villa have lost three of their opening four games, all against teams sitting below 12th in the current table, leaving Steven Gerrard under increasing scrutiny.
The Liverpool legend experienced a mixed debut campaign but is now under pressure to get his star-studded squad firing on all cylinders or he could face an uncertain future.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Aston Villa
Arsenal look like the real deal this season. Simply, they have been the best team in the Premier League after four rounds of fixtures and there’s no reason to believe they can’t maintain their form. A couple of injuries have dented their options, but they still have a starting XI capable of going to toe-to-toe with almost anyone. They need to win all of their games against teams they’re expected to beat to be in with a shot of challenging Liverpool and Manchester City by May.
Our prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Aston Villa (13/2 at bet365)
