Matchweek 15 of the Premier League has arrived as Arsenal makes the trip to face Aston Villa at Villa Park in a game that sees first place take on third. December is the busiest month of this competition, so get ready for a ton of games in the next few weeks.

Aston Villa vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
Both of these teams come into this game in great form. Arsenal are five points clear at the top of the league and haven’t lost since August. Aston Villa got off to a rough start this season but have bounced back in a big way recently. The Villans have won four Premier League games in a row and find themselves in a surprise position in the table as they sit third. If they were to win this one, they would find themselves only three points adrift of first place.
Unfortunately for them, I don’t think they will. Arsenal are the definition of consistent. Although this will be a tough game for both sides, the Gunners have the edge. They lead the league in wins, have scored the second most goals and conceded the fewest. They have a perfect record in the Champions League, and neither side has a rest advantage as both of these teams played and won on Wednesday.
Arsenal have won two of their last three Premier League games at Villa Park, and should take themselves eight points clear at the top of the table on Saturday before Man City hosts Sunderland.
