Recommended bet: Arsenal to win, Over 3.5 goals & Kai Havertz anytime goalscorer @ 5/1 with LiveScore Bet
Arsenal will be looking to make it two wins from two in the new Premier League season when they head to the West Midlands to face Aston Villa on Monday night.
Having defeated Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield, the Gunners racked up the same scoreline at home to Coventry in their top-flight opener.
It has been a different story for Villa, who have lost key first-team members this summer and who were trounced 4-0 by Brighton at the Amex Stadium.

Team news
New Villa signings Nicolas Jackson and Leon Goretzka have both been registered in time for this clash and are expected to go straight into the starting XI.
Joao Gomes begins his three-game ban for the red card received in the loss to Brighton, while Amadou Onana, Johan Manzambi and Brian Madjo are all sidelined.
Defenders Jurrien Timber and William Saliba are both out injured for Arsenal, who are also set to be without Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus as they near exits from the club.
Bruno Guimaraes is "potentially available", with his workload being managed after a groin issue, while Ezri Konsa, who left Villa Park for the Emirates this summer, will be part of the matchday squad.
The stats
Arsenal boasted the best away record in last season's Premier League (W11 D5 L3).
There have been four or more goals in five of Villa's last six home matches (including friendlies).
Two of the last three meetings between these clubs have produced over 3.5 goals.
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has scored in the first two games of the season, both 3-0 wins over Man City (Community Shield) and Coventry (Premier League).
The Germany international has netted eight times in his last 10 appearances for club and country.

Prediction
Arsenal are showing no signs of slowing down after last season's Premier League title and they look capable of picking up the win at Villa Park, where they have won on three of their last five trips.
The Gunners have lost just one of their last 11 away matches in the top-flight and they should have too much quality for a Villa side who were awful in defeat at Brighton and who are struggling to cope without the likes of Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Konsa.
A win for the visitors forms the first leg of this bet builder, with the second selection being over 3.5 goals, which has landed in five of Villa's last six home matches.
Complete this bet builder by adding in Havertz to get on the scoresheet, something he has achieved in eight of his last 10 outings for club and country.
The Arsenal and Germany forward has been in fine form this season, netting against both City and Coventry and he can stay on the goal trail at Villa Park.
Score prediction: Aston Villa 1-3 Arsenal
