Arsenal (ARS) will host Aston Villa (AVL) at the Emirates Stadium in their upcoming Premier League 2022-23 clash on Thursday, September 1. The match will start at 12:00 AM IST (Indian Standard Time).

ARS vs AVL Dream11 prediction

Arsenal are currently enjoying a fairytale start to their 2022 Premier League campaign, with four wins in four.

The Gunners are coming off a 2-1 win against promoted side Fulham, with defender Gabriel’s 86th-minute strike keeping their 100 per cent winning streak in the Premier League intact.

Mikel Arterta’s men have won nine of their last 11 Premier League games and have lost just once in their last six meetings in all competitions against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium. They will look to extend this run against the Clarets.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, have lost three of their four league games so far. Steven Gerrard’s men will travel to the Emirates hoping to end their last three-game losing streak away from home in the league.

Taking into account the team’s recent form and their advantage in the head-to-head in the Premier League - 29 wins in 54 meetings - Arsenal will be the outright favourites to win the ARS vs AVL game on Thursday.

ARS vs AVL Dream11 team tips for Premier League 2022-23

Top tip: Best forward

Ollie Watkins will lead the Aston Villa attack against Arsenal on Thursday. The English striker has registered a goal and two assists in his first four PL 2022-23 outings, and will fancy his chances of being on the scoresheet against the Gunners.

Top tip: Best midfielder

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has led from the front in each of Arsenal’s league wins this term and he will continue to be a threat at the centre of the park. With three goals and averaging 52 passes per game, the Norwegian star can be a constant menace to the Villa defenders in the box.

Top tip: Best defender and goalkeeper

Arsenal defender William Saliba can be an ideal selection. The French centre-back has established his place in the heart of the Arsenal defence and will look to shut down any goal-scoring approaches from the Villa front pairing of Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey.

For a goalkeeper, AVL’s Emiliano Martinez is our recommendation. Although the Argentina international is not likely to keep a clean sheet, the former Gunners stopper has the credentials to stop the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus from finding the back of the net. His saves could help you garner lots of fantasy points.

ARS vs AVL probable playing XI

ARS playing XI (probable): Aaron Ramsdale (goalkeeper); Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Kieran Tierney; Mohamed Elneny, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard (captain), Gabriel Martinelli; Gabriel Jesus

AVL playing XI (probable): Emiliano Martínez (goalkeeper), Lucas Digne, Ezri Konsa, Calum Chambers, Matty Cash; Jacob Ramsey, Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn; Emiliano Buendía, Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey

Manchester City vs Chelsea

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are just three points away from winning the Premier League title and they could seal their third PL title in four years this weekend against Chelsea. 

Interestingly, Chelsea had ended Manchester City’s quadruple hopes after they defeated the Cityzens 1-0 in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Under the tutelage of Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea have kept 18 clean sheets in 24 matches and currently placed fourth in the Premier League table, just three points ahead of fifth-placed West Ham United.

The Blues have a great record Manchester City, winning 26 of the 47 matches played between these two successful teams.

However, Chelsea have lost nine of their 12 fixtures at the Etihad Stadium in all competitions. Furthermore, the Blues have won just one of their last five PL matches at the Etihad.

Liverpool vs Southampton

Liverpool will look to close the gap in the top four race when they host Southampton at Anfield. The defending champions are currently seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, with a game in hand.

On the other hand, Southampton have struggled throughout the ongoing campaign and are currently in the 16th spot in the points table.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are tipped to add three points to their tally against Southampton in the early hours of Sunday.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United 

In another exciting fixture, Aston Villa host second-placed Manchester United at the Villa Park on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta and his men head into the fixture after they were knocked out of the UEFA Europa League by Villarreal in the semi-final.

West Brom, on the other hand, are fighting for survival as they need to win all their remaining four games and hope the teams above them drop points.

Led by Sam Allardyce, West Brom are currently placed 19th in the Premier League points table, with 26 points in 34 games.

Over the years, Arsenal have clearly dominated the fixture, winning 17 of the 25 matches played between these two sides.

Furthermore, West Brom have failed to defeat the Gunners in their last five matches at the Emirates.

Jamie Vardy? Bruno Fernandes? Danny Ings? We get the dilemma.  English footballing action resumes on Tuesday, December 15, with less than 48 hours the difference between GW12 and GW13. 

With fantasy managers struggling for breathing space, we bring you five names who could be well-trusted to ace in gameweek 13.

Player: Bruno Fernandes

Match: Sheffield United vs Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes in away Premier League fixtures this season: 5 matches. 5 goals. 5 assists. How’s that to put your money on someone? 

A playmaker and an influencer with whom the Red Devils ride along, the Portuguese midfielder averages a goal and an assist in every away game this season. The 26-year old travels to Bramall Lane where he faces one of the worst defences this season in Sheffield United. The Blades are the only side yet to keep a clean sheet in the top division and have lost 11 of their 12 matches, managing just a single point. Note that the Red Devils scored six goals against them in the 2019/20 Premier League season. 

With United hitting the right note in the league, it is a no-brainer that Bruno Fernandes should wear your captain's armband.

Player: Joao Cancelo

Match: Manchester City vs West Bromwich Albion

A sixth straight clean sheet for City is a new club record for the blue side of Manchester. Joao Cancelo has become a consistent brick of this City wall. The Portuguese has completed 90 minutes in six of the last seven league games and has created more chances than any other defender in that period. The attacking-minded full-back constantly on overlapping runs, Cancelo has the ability to deliver dangerous crosses in the box. Clubbed with attacking returns is a very high possibility of a clean sheet. Manchester City face West Brom, a team which is yet to keep an away clean sheet this season and that run looks to extend.

Player: Jack Grealish

Match: Aston Villa vs Burnley

With five goals and six assists in his 10 games, Jack Grealish is having another stellar season in the middle of the park. Since the 7-2 win over Liverpool, the Aston Villa captain has been involved in 50% of the club goals and now faces a Burnley side that let five goals past them against Manchester City and four against Leicester while travelling. Aston Villa boss Dean Smith confirmed after Saturday's win that Anwar El Ghazi and Jack Grealish are the club's two main penalty-takers and this news will disappoint owners of Ollie Watkins who had taken the previous spot-kicks this season. Having penalties in his locker, the ownership of England’s star will continue to rise.

Player: Timo Werner

Match: Wolves vs Chelsea

Timo Werner has four goals and four assists to his name, but that isn’t enough for a big name like the German. He was expected to bang in goals week in and out but that hasn’t yet gone to plan. However, the Chelsea forward is not short of chances. His 6+ plus chances in the last five gameweeks are the most by any other fantasy player. 

The Blues face Wolves who haven’t kept a clean sheet since GW 7. Werner is in the same bracket of the world-class strikers and it won’t be long before he starts firing. The youngster is due a big game and that might just come against a struggling Wolverhampton. With Pulisic fit again, he could just get the service he requires upfront. Frank Lampard’s men are coming into this match with a loss and will want to make a statement of their own and Werner could well and truly be another differential forward who could turn the tie towards you.

Player: Che Adams

Match: Arsenal vs Southampton 

Che Adams netted his fourth goal of the season during the weekend, equaling his 2019/20 tally. In the absence of Danny Ings, Che led the Saints�line effectively and is a crucial part of the setup. Only in 14/15 did Southampton United had more points after the opening 12 games than they do now. Being on the lower side of the money than most fantasy players, Adams is the most valued forward for his price. A real bargain buy, the amount saved on the English forward can be used elsewhere to balance your team. 

Southampton, who currently sit fourth in the Premier League, visit North London side Arsenal who are at 15th position. Apart from his last away fixture, the number 10 has either scored or assisted in his last four matches including a goal and an assist against Chelsea.
