It's the game of the weekend as leaders Arsenal take on the in-form side in the Premier League, Aston Villa, at Villa Park and Paddy Power have marked it with a huge sign-up offer.
The Gunners sit five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table after their comfortable win over Brentford on Wednesday night, but the Villains are coming up on their shoulder, just a point further back on City.
Having failed to win any of their first five games, and scoring just once in that spell, Unai Emery's side have won eight of their last nine Premier League fixtures, with their most recent victory coming in thrilling fashion at Brighton.
Villa's four goals at the Amex Stadium in midweek, as well as Ollie Watkins getting back on track with a brace, bodes well for both Saturday's clash and this brilliant Paddy Power offer.
As does the 27 goals scored by Arsenal in the league this season — the second highest — and the recent return of Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Odegaard and Noni Madueke.

AllSportsPeople Aston Villa vs. Arsenal Prediction
Their last couple of away games in the league have shown that Arsenal can suffer when teams play with intensity and aggression against them. They were held to draws against Sunderland a few weeks ago (2-2) and then at Chelsea last weekend (1-1).
Villa will be another side who will look to get after the Gunners but theresilience and sheer quality and confidence of the visitors marks them out as the favourites to edge it in our opinion.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Arsenal (17/2 with Bet365)
