The Emirates hosts what could well be one of the most important matches of the Premier League season as leaders Arsenal welcome third-placed Aston Villa.
The Gunners are two points clear of Manchester City and three above Villa but it is the Midlands outfit who are riding the crest of a wave under ex-Arsenal boss Unai Emery.
Villa equalled their club record of 11 successive wins - previously set in 1897 and 1914 - after fighting back to beat Chelsea on Saturday and the current crop now have the chance to go down in history.
Among those victories was a 2-1 triumph over Arsenal earlier this month thanks to Emi Buendia’s stoppage-time winner.
However, Villa’s winning run has to end somewhere and we think it could be tomorrow, although we think they could get a point at the league leaders and our prediction is a 1-1 draw @7/1.

Form Guides
Arsenal Form Guide
Arsenal made it 25 points from a possible 27 at home this season with Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Brighton but they were given a big scare by the Seagulls .
In fact, the Gunners have been living fairly dangerously for a number of weeks now, with narrow league wins over Everton , Wolves and Brentford as well as requiring a penalty shoot-out to beat Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Their defence has remained as strong as ever though and we think a draw with under 3.5 goals in total against Villa @ 4/1 is likely.
We are also tempted by odds of 5/4 for there to be over 10.5 corners in the match. Set-piece specialists Arsenal ( 107 ) are second for most corners in the Premier League this season, with Villa ninth ( 93 ).
Aston Villa Form Guide
Villa’s long winning streak, which now includes eight on the trot in the Premier League, looked to be coming to an end at the weekend as they trailed at Chelsea heading into the final half-hour.
However, half-time substitute Ollie Watkins turned the game on its head with a brace to help Villa secure the points..
Watkins, a transfer target for Arsenal earlier this year, will hope to have forced his way into Emery’s starting line-up at the Emirates, where the England striker is 4/1 to add to the six goals he has scored against the Gunners in Villa colours.
Villa have a decent record at Arsenal, claiming two wins and a draw from their last five visits, and if you fancy them to snatch a potentially crucial victory tomorrow, then you can get 7/1 for a 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 away win.
