Mikel Arteta thinks Arsenal’s away form could inspire a result against Aston Villa

Arsenal remains unbeaten away from home in the Premier League in 2024, but this weekend’s match marks their first away fixture of the new season.

Mikel Arteta’s side travels to Villa Park, where they lost last season. However, they currently hold the best away record in the Premier League over the past two seasons.

The Gunners have kept 21 clean sheets in away games during that period and are among the top contenders for the league title this campaign.

A key to their success last season was their ability to dominate on the road, and Villa Park will be their first away challenge this term.

In 2024, few home teams have been able to handle Arsenal, who remain unbeaten at Anfield and the Etihad since the turn of the year.

This impressive away form boosts their confidence, and Mikel Arteta believes they can leverage it to secure a positive result in Birmingham this weekend.

He said to the Arsenal Media:

“[It proves] that we’ve done it, that’s the confidence. Now we have to show it again.

“Tomorrow we go there with that belief and being very clear in what we want to do and what we have to do to earn the right to win the game, and we will certainly try to do that tomorrow.”

It will be a tough game for us, but we have played on tougher grounds and have not lost.

  1. I suspect it will be a low key affair with a modest one nil win for the visitors.

    Can’t see anything else on the cards for this one.

  2. Is Declare Rice now injury free and okay to start our match to Aston Villa tomorrow’s evening? I’ve not come across any update on him to know if he has recovered from the injury that he picked in our last home match against Wolves.
    But nevertheless, I want to assume that he’s alright to start our Villa match.
    So therefore, I will start him in my own predicted Arsenal starting XI for Villa.
    But before I state my Gunners starting XI for the match. I would want to confidently emphasised that the Gunners will definitely beat the Vilians 0-2 in the match this time around at full-time of the Epl match encounter,
    this my 0-2 match away win prediction for Arsenal will erase the sad memory of the 1-0 match loss at Villa Park last season. When the Gunners lost 1-0 to the Vilians in a ungamemanship way match referring by the Pgmol match officiating officials in the math.
    But this season, and in particular in this match. The Gunnerswill guide against a reoccourance of such a mishappenings to not happen them again. For. They will block totally any mishappenings that are occasioned by the Pgmol in the match from happening to them.
    My starts:
    Raya;
    White Saliba Gabriel Zinichenko;
    Partey;
    Rice Odegaard;
    Saka Havertz Trossard.
    But yet again, Arteta could start Martinelli and bench Trossard for the match. And pair Jorginho with Ddegaard to start if Rice is unwell.

  3. I think probably a narrow win for Arsenal, could be the best of three goals – the minute “clean sheets” are mentioned is sometimes just when one isn’t kept.

    There are bound to be some unexpected results along the way in 2024-25 so although the win is obviously the priority, a draw wouldn’t be a total disaster given Villa’s very recent form against us.
