I really do see this game playing Under 2.5 goals.

Ok at first glance perhaps people can think that im abit stupid. Arsenal score goals at will and Villa have not been shy of a goal or two lately either showing some fantastic form along the way.

But when i look at the way that Martin O'Neill is likely to look at this game, i really see no reason to lay this bet. I remember watching Villa - Chelsea in Mourinho's era there and it was interesting to see Villa's tactics. MON decided to sit back and hit counters which i guess is kind of an obvious thing to do and it works. MON is not a stupid manager, he knows that if he was to go and attack this Arsenal unit, they will rip his Villa side apart, that goes without saying. So im sure you will see Villa operating a 451 here with Young and Agbonlahor dropping back into the midfield as they look to hit Arsenal on the counter.

Arsenal meanwhile are without the player who makes them tick in Cesc Fabregas. They have showed just this in their last two games just how much of a crucial player that he is for them. Firstly they struggled to break down a Wigan defence that had been leaking alot of goals only scoring x2 goals in the last 10 minutes. There is no doubting the fact that he is quite probably the most important part of this Arsenal side and they will miss his creative instincts.

I can see this going Under, mainly as i think Villa will defend in numbers as this is the only way against Arsenal, if they attack them, they will lose, simple as that.

Take the Under, GL¬!!
