Thought that we are playing at home. Was positive.

1-2 to Villa. Red card to Ryan.

Lol who cares where we play anymore. All games are purely on the field now.

• Opta Stats
• 
  Aston Villa haven't completed a league double over Arsenal since the first Premier League season in 1992/93 under Ron Atkinson, winning 1-0 in both games.
• Arsenal haven't lost three league games in a row against Aston Villa since November 1993, when they lost their first three Premier League encounters with the Villans.
• Arsenal have failed to score in their last two league matches against Aston Villa, managing just two shots on target across those games, both in their 0-3 defeat earlier this season.
• Aston Villa have lost four of their last six Premier League games (W2), as many as they had in their previous 18 in the competition (W10 D4 L4).
• Arsenal lost their last match against Wolves, ending a seven-game unbeaten run for the Gunners in the Premier League (W5 D2). They last lost consecutive league games in November/December, a run of three which began with defeat to Wolves.
• Aston Villa have conceded on average 1.6 goals per Premier League home game this season (14 goals in 9 games), in contrast to their away form which has seen them ship just 0.9 goals per game (10 in 11).
• • Since Mikel Arteta's first game in charge of Arsenal in December 2019, the Gunners have had more Premier League red cards than any other side (9). Arsenal saw both David Luiz and Bernd Leno sent off in their last league match against Wolves.
  • Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins netted twice at the Emirates earlier this season against Arsenal in their 3-0 Premier League win - only Didier Drogba has ever scored 2+ goals in consecutive Premier League games against the Gunners, doing so in the 2009/10 season.
  • Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez kept a clean sheet in his first Premier League appearance against Arsenal earlier this season; the only two goalkeepers to keep clean sheets in their first two Premier League appearances against a club they've previously appeared for in the competition are Shaka Hislop vs Newcastle (1998-99) and Mark Schwarzer vs Middlesbrough (2008-09).
  • Arsenal's Nicolas Pépé has scored in each of his last three away games in the Premier League, having scored in just two of his first 18 on the road in the competition. The last Arsenal player to score in four straight away league games was Olivier Giroud between September-November 2015.

[Lady_Gooner]

Is there anyone else on AM who you're close with? Could go around to theirs and watch if they're okay with it?

You know you're always welcome to mind but obvs distance

Don’t think there is

Only other people who are local are @Jury and @Lady_Gooner but I’ve fallen out with both of them recently.

Don’t really have time to get to @BigPoppaPump ’s so will have to use a dodgy phone stream.

 

[Penn_]

Ryan is a decent back up right? Shouldn’t be a worry?

 

[freeglennhelder2]

My internet is down with an estimated fix at 6pm. Are virgin media taking the piss?

4G, Pay for BT hotspot for the day if available, or go ol skool and listen to the transistor radio.

Damn, if Jury was still alive I know he'd invite you around for beers and pizza, that guy KNOWS his pizza.

Doesn’t this season have the highest % of away victories in history across all European leagues ? ?
