Do or Die for Arsenal

After storming into second place, the Gunners now face a true test of their title credentials with trips to Villa Park and Stamford Bridge, as well as visits from Manchester United and Liverpool.

Win the majority of these matches, and Arsenal will be in pole position during the season’s final stretch. But slip up, and it will be curtains.

Aston Villa (a) January 27

Led by an inspiring performance from Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal thrashed Villa 3-0 when they visited the Emirates before the New Year. Yet the fact remains that no team has let in fewer goals than Villa this season – and they’ve been especially thrifty at their home ground. With Robin Van Persie still injured and Eduardo yet to fire on all cylinders, Arsenal might be lucky to come away with a draw.

Triple teamed - Arsenal grabbed all three-points against Villa at the Emirates.

Next up: Manchester United (home)

   My Arsenal predictions: Win v Villa. Loss v Chelsea. Loss v United. Loss v Liverpool. No Premiership crown.
