We are down to the last six matchdays of the Premier League season. The fight at both ends of the table is remarkable, but we must point out that just a handful of teams have played the 32 games they should had. Most have 31, and Chelsea has only 30. That means we still have some way to go before the dramatic end.
With Arsenal holding the leadership just by their goal differential, they must give their all in every match. At the same time, Aston Villa must do the same to surpass Tottenham and achieve Champions League qualification, a competition they have not played in decades.
Both teams had a pretty hefty calendar until now, getting out late in cup competitions and being alive in Europe. Here is the point of the season where tiredness takes its toll, so surprises are a given, especially between powerful teams at the top of the table.
When:
Sunday, April 14th, 11:30 AM ET at Emirates Stadium

Why Bet on Arsenal?
This upcoming match will be hosted by the team at the top, Arsenal. They took the lead last week after a victory over Brighton, and with their current campaign at 22 wins, five draws, and four losses, they depend on themselves to raise their first Premier League trophy in exactly twenty years.
The Gunners have an incredible run with 11 games unbeaten, in which they have only drawn once. That tie was with Manchester City at the Etihad, maybe the hardest match they had until the end of the season.
One of their few league losses was against Aston Villa, so they have the chance to take revenge at their stadium.
Why Bet on Aston Villa?
Aston Villa will be visiting the top team. This is not the kind of match you want while facing a crude battle for a ticket to the Champions League, but it is what it is, and they must win. Even a draw could potentially leave them far behind in the race, as Tottenham has a game in hand.
The Villians had been on ups and downs in their last five matches, having only won once, drawn 2, and lost 2. They are coming from a 3-3 draw against the 15th-placed Brentford that was a hard hit.
The good news for the team from Birmingham is that they come from a win in the Conference League against Lille, and look well-positioned to be champions.
Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Aston Villa
Aston Villa is one of the projects built with an objective for the Premier League: to qualify for the Champions League. Seeing Leicester City’s case, it’s clear that betting big on something and not achieving it is not good in this competition.
The team is battling on two fronts late in the season, something they are not accustomed to, considering this is their first participation in Europe in a long time, spending most of the last decade in the lower parts of the table and even in the Championship.
However, there’s no time to think about that, they must win. The problem is, in front, they have a bloodthirsty behemoth that is trying to forget last year’s shame. We’ll go for a 3-1 win for the locals.
Go for a victory for Arsenal at 1.308. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $30.8 for a total payout of $130.8.
