Arsenal FC - Aston Villa 17/08/2013 15:00 BST
Arsenal hosts Aston Villa in a match of the first round of the English Premier League. A lot of the football experts expect Arsenal to start efficiently the season, because they retained their full squad and have only one new signing - the striker Yaya Sanogo. Most of the other teams in the league, including Aston Villa, have made considerable transfers and it`s natural that the players might not be well-organized.
Most of Arsenal`s players took part in the matches of their national teams. Aaron Ramsey got a slight injury on Wednesday and is now under doubt, but it is likely Wenger to use him, due to Mikel Arteta`s absence. Thomas Vermaelen and Abou Diaby are also injured and will not participate in this meeting. The attacking midfielder of the guests N'Zogbia is also injured and we might witness the debut of the bulgarian Alexander Tonev in the Premier League.
In this match, we can definitely expect many goals. Arsene Wenger`s philosophy about the game is precisely that it should be highly entertaining for the audience. Arsenal perform aggressive, attacking football. Aston Villa on the other hand, also plays quite openly judging by the results of the team. In 11 of the last 12 games of Villa in the Premier League there were over 2.5 goals scored.
