Arsenal head to Villa Park on Monday, Jan. 13 knowing they need to take a full three points from Aston Villa in order to end Matchday 21 at the top of the table.
With Manchester City and Chelsea both picking up wins already in their Premier League matches this week, Arsenal trail Chelsea by a point and Manchester City by two points.
This will be the second meeting between Villa and Arsenal, and it's safe to say a lot has happened since they first met.
It was in each team's league opener that Aston Villa went into Emirates Stadium and embarrassed Arsenal, 3-1. At that point, it looked like the Gunners were in for a rough season.
Fast forward a few months to see that Arsenal have only failed to win five of their games since that setback. Meanwhile, Aston Villa have won just five times in league action since that meeting.
Now we can see if Aston Villa have Arsenal's number, or if they simply caught the Gunners on the right day. Of course, Arsenal made the big transfer splash fans were craving since that match as they added Mesut Ozil. So it's going to be a different Arsenal team that Villa faces.
My guess is Aston Villa will see a much improved Arsenal team from the last match.
When: Monday, Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. GMT/3 p.m. ET
Where: Villa Park, Trinity Road, Birmingham
TV: NBCSN/Sky Sports 1
Live Stream: NBC Sports Live Extra
