Take on the Professor: Villa fan predicts fightback against Arsenal
Published:
Aston Villa boss Remi Garde is set to face the man who initially brought him to English shores back in 1996 but how will his struggling side fare against Arsenal?
Arsene Wenger’s side were heroic in midweek, defeating Olymipiacos 3-0 in Greece to secure an miraculous passage to the knockout stages in this season’s Champions League.
However, now they return to domestic action with Premier League bottom dwellers Villa their hosts on Sunday afternoon.
We’ve roped in @charlcox6 to give his predictions and take on our bearded genius.
He’ll have to go some to beat the in-form Prof although there is just one previous contestant out in front…
As ever our contestant been given a £25 FREE BET to use as he wishes ahead of the big game.
And in terms of the competition’s format, it’s pretty simple.
For each correct pick, the entrant will be awarded the odds paid out on that selection.
For example, a correct 20/1 selection will reward 20 points. There will be no penalty for an incorrect selection.
Here’s how they’re calling it:
Our Claret and Blue friend thinks his boys can keep the Gunners at bay. But The Prof isn’t so sure.
This is how he sees it…
Arsenal have won 10 of the pair’s last 13 Premier League encounters. Villa are rooted to the bottom of the table with just one win from 15 games and they’ve lost 13 of last 17 top-flight matches.
Each of the pair’s previous six meetings in all competitions have featured three goals or more.
- Olivier Giroud has opened the scoring in six games so far this season
