Arsenal and Aston Villa Face Off in Premier League Title Clash at Emirates
Arsenal host Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium in a pivotal Premier League match kicking off at 8:15pm GMT on 30 December 2025.
This fixture carries significant title-race implications as the league table after 18 games shows Arsenal leading with 42 points and a +22 goal difference, closely followed by Manchester City on 40 points (+26) and Aston Villa third on 39 points (+10). Liverpool sit fourth with 32 points.
Aston Villa enter the match on an impressive 11-match winning streak since a defeat at Anfield in early November, including eight consecutive league victories and a recent win over Arsenal just 24 days ago. Villa aim to secure their third league double over Arsenal in six seasons.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have a three-match league winning run but their recent home performances have been inconsistent, with wins over Wolves, Brighton, and a Carabao Cup victory against Crystal Palace. Notably, four of Arsenal's last six goals conceded at home have been to opponents, including one penalty.
This encounter is regarded as the first major clash of the season in the Premier League, with Villa's potential victory poised to keep the title race open between the top three contenders.
