The Tipster Wizard looks to make it three wins on the spin with his bet builder prediction for Arsenal vs Aston Villa.
Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Leg 1: Morgan Rogers 1+ Fouls Committed
Morgan Rogers is expected to start on the left flank, a role that will require significant defensive discipline to limit the influence of Bukayo Saka.
Saka is one of the Premier League’s most effective ball carriers and regularly draws fouls through his direct dribbling style.
When these sides met earlier this month, Rogers committed three fouls, one of which came directly against Saka.
With Arsenal likely to dominate possession in this fixture, Rogers should again find himself under sustained pressure, increasing the likelihood of defensive fouls.
Notably, he has committed at least one foul in nine of his last ten appearances across all competitions, suggesting this trend could continue here.
Leg 2: Youri Tielemans 1+ Fouls Won
We backed this angle in Aston Villa’s recent meeting with Chelsea, where Youri Tielemans delivered comfortably by drawing two fouls.
His calmness in possession and preference for operating in congested central areas regularly invites pressure from opposition midfielders.
Tielemans is averaging 2.79 fouls won per 90 minutes this season and has been fouled at least once in ten consecutive league appearances.
That trend has intensified in recent outings, with ten fouls drawn across his last three league matches.
Given his importance in Villa’s build-up play, this shapes up as a particularly strong selection.

Leg 3: Amadou Onana 2+ Tackles
Amadou Onana is an aggressive, high-volume tackler who thrives on stepping in to regain possession for his side.
He is likely to be tested by technically secure opponents such as Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Eberechi Eze, all of whom regularly draw pressure and invite challenges in possession.
Onana is averaging 2.82 tackles per 90 minutes this season and has recorded two or more tackles in all ten of his starts.
He also landed this selection in the reverse fixture against Arsenal earlier this month, and with Boubacar Kamara unavailable, Onana’s defensive responsibilities and output should be further amplified.
Leg 4: Arsenal Double Chance
Arsenal lead the table with 42 points from 18 matches and boast the league’s strongest home record, with eight wins and a draw at the Emirates Stadium. Arteta’s side have transformed their home ground into a genuine fortress this season, making them exceptionally difficult to overcome on their own turf.
Aston Villa arrive on the back of an impressive 11-match winning streak, but they will be without two key figures in Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara, both of whom played pivotal roles in their recent 2-1 victory over Arsenal. Moreover, underlying performance metrics suggest Unai Emery’s side have been significantly overperforming, which may prove difficult to sustain. Taken together, these factors point towards Arsenal extending their unbeaten home run in this fixture.
