Sutton's predictions: Arsenal v Aston Villa

2 hours ago 1

I love what Aston Villa are doing. You just keep thinking their winning run can't continue - which is why I had Chelsea down to beat them - and again I was wrong about that.

Villa have the most points (18) from losing positions in the Premier League this season and they just do not lie down.

We saw that again against Chelsea, who pummelled them for an hour before Ollie Watkins came on to make it 11 Aston Villa wins in a row.

It was only this time last year that Arsenal put a bid in for Watkins, who supports them as well, but he stayed at Villa Park. If you were writing a script, you would have him down as getting the winner again here.

Even so, I just have a feeling Arsenal will find a way to win this. I'm expecting the Gunners to find another gear or two very soon, but this might be more of a battle for them that they have to get through.

There will be some nervy moments for Mikel Arteta's side again, that's for sure, but I reckon they will hang on for the win, just about.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1
