The much-anticipated Premier League clash between Arsenal and Aston Villa has kicked off, with the score still 0-0 after 5 minutes. Both sides have started cautiously, prioritizing possession and building chances.
Arsenal’s Impressive Home Form

However, their away form has been inconsistent, and they have struggled to convert opportunities on the road. Notably, Villa has conceded from the opponent’s first shot on target in 11 league matches this season—more than any other team.
