Ray Parlour is convinced one Arsenal player is scoring against Aston Villa this weekend
Arsenal and Aston Villa got their Premier League campaigns off to a winning start as they secured all three points on opening day.
As they prepare to lock horns this weekend, the game promises ♔to be an exciting contest between two sides that have big ambitions this season.
Arsenal are aiming to pip Manchester City to the Premier League title after falling desperately short over the last couple of season𓄧s.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, will look to build on their impressive fourth-place finish from last season as they prepare to play in the UEFA Champions League for the ꦡfi꧃rst time since the 1982-83 season.
As Unai Emery prepares to return to the Emirates Stadium, Ray Parlour tips the Gunners to get all three points with Bukayo Saka getting his name on the scoresheet again.
Ray Parlour feels Bukayo Saka will score in Arsenal win
Parlour feels Arsenal weren’t great against Wol🧜verhampton Wande๊rers despite winning 2-0 last weekend.
However, he believes Mikel Arteta’s side have enough firepower to s༺ee of☂f Villa at home as he predicted a 2-1 win for Arsenal with Saka continuing his strong start to the season.
“They (Arsenal) weren’t great agai🥃nst Wolves. It was a bit stop-start, the first 20, 25 minutes, they weren’t as flowing as they usually are,” Parlour said on talkSPORT (7:46 AM, Aug 23rd).
“But I have got to go with Arsenal to nick a result here.♍ I am going to go 2-1. Saka was unbelievable and played really well against Wolves. He is going to c꧅ontinue at Aston Villa and score a goal. 2-1.”
How did Saka fare against Wolves?
Arsenal were nowhere close to t𝕴heir best against Wolves but cruised to a routine 2-0 win, thanks in no small part to Saka.
The England international floated in a fantastic cross for Kai Havertz to head home in the first🍬 hal��f as he produced a moment of magic to help break the deadlock.
Havertz returned the favour after the interval as Wolves threaten🌞ed to get back into the game.
Aft💝er receiving a pass from the German on the right flank, Saka cut into his preferred left foot and slammed the ball home from inside the box to put the game beyond reasonable doubt.
Alan Shearer believes Saka will score 2𝕴0 Premi𝕴er League goals this season, w⛎hich is four more than his tally from the 2023-24 campaign.
The 22-year-old looked in fine form on opening day and if he c💞arries on in the same way, you wouldn’t put it past him.
Arsenal will look to exact revenge against Aston Villa
Arseꦬnal lost home and away to Aston Villa last season – two results that could have made a massive difference in the Premier League title race.
Emery’s side won 1-0 at Villa Park in December 2023 courtesy of an 🌳early goal from Joh♍n McGinn.
The reverse fixtures turned out even better for Villa as t🦋hey went to the Emirates and blew the Gunners way with late goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins in April.
Paul Merson tiꦫps Arsenal to secure a hard-fought win on Saturday, buꦅt Arteta and his team need to be on their toes to secure all three points and exact revenge for their losses last season.
