Arsenal prepare to complete their decade of dominance over Aston Villa

A big-match preview from the spread betting experts at IG Sport

Our friends at spread betting firm IG Sport are here to tell us why Arsenal will continue their undefeated streak against Aston Villa when the two teams meet at the Emirates tomorrow:

“When you talk about ‘owning’ Premier League football clubs, the names Abramovich, Glazer and Ashley are usually the first names that spring to mind. But who owns Aston Villa? Randy Lerner would be the name most learned football fans would put forward, however a more appropriate answer would be Arsenal. The Gunners have not lost to Villa in nineteen encounters, winning thirteen and drawing six, and after the way their kids demolished Wigan in midweek the future is looking bleak in terms of reversing that particular jinx for Martin O’Neill and the Villa faithful. IG Sport price Arsenal as 1-1.2 goal favourites against Villa this weekend with the total match goals on the high side for a Premier League game at 2.9-3.1 - the price accounting for both Arsenal’s efficiency going forward and their all too frequent inefficiency in defence! Yes, Arsenal own Aston Villa and if the Gunners avoid defeat again tomorrow they’ll proudly be able to boast having had control of the Midlands club for over a decade!”
