It's matchday two in the new Premier League season and the fixtures computer has handed Arsenal an early test of their title credentials away to Aston Villa.
Unai Emery's side defeated both the Gunners and Manchester City at home last term en route to a fourth-placed finish that has handed them a crack at Champions League football.
Aston Villa kicked off with a win away to West Ham last week so their confidence will be high as they prepare to welcome Mikel Arteta's men.
Arsenal also began with a victory at home to Wolves and looked primed for another title push so it should be a fascinating 90 minutes.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal top betting tips
Villa's home victories last season over the top two both ended in 1-0 scorelines so it could pay to back another tight game. BTTS also failed to land when Emery's side won 2-0 at the Emirates so betting against it here appeals at 6/5 with Betfred.
With the teams pretty evenly matched the half-time draw is another good option and that pays 13/10.
Six yellows were flashed on Arsenal's last visit so we could see a few cards today and over 42.5 booking points is priced at evens.
John McGinn always get stuck in and the Villa skipper is 13/5 to go into the book.
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester United top betting tips
Brighton and Hove Albion topped the day-one table after winning 3-0 at Everton and it looks like the Seagulls will be great entertainers again this season under new boss Fabian Hurzeler.
Manchester United head south off the back of a win over Fulham but it was far from convincing and this kind of tricky away fixture tripped them up countless times last season.
That's why Betfred make Brighton 6/4 favourites, with the Red Devils at 7/4, and the home win does look tempting. It's probably safer going for goals but combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays just 8/11.
Stats bets look the best option and United's Mason Mount is 5/4 with Betfred just to have an effort on target. I also like the 5/4 on offer at Bet365 for Casemiro to commit over 1.5 fouls in the engine room.
Manchester City vs Ipswich Town top tips
Ipswich Town couldn't have been handed a tougher start to life back in the Premier League as the head to the Etihad after hosting Liverpool last week.
The Tractor Boys competed well last week in the first half before the class of Arne Slot's men eventually told after the break.
With Manchester City set to dominate possession today it will be a backs-to-the-wall job and concentration will be crucial.
Erling Haaland looked sharp last week at Chelsea and the City hitman is 15/8 at Betfred for two or more goals here.
Kevin De Bruyne also appeals at evens for an assist as his creativity will be key to opening up Ipswich's defence.
Hibernian vs Dundee top tips
The game of the day in the SPFL Premiership comes at Easter Road as Hibernian look to spark their season into life with a win over Dundee.
David Gray's reign as permanent boss has got off to a dismal start, suffering defeats to Kelty Hearts and St Mirren before being outclassed by Celtic in a league and cup double-header.
Dundee, in contrast, are unbeaten in seven and have won six of their games so the Dark Blues look overpriced at 12/5 for a win.
Going for goals looks the smartest move as Dundee always go for it and Hibs still possess a lot of threat up front. Over 3.5 strikes pays 13/8 at Bet365 while over 1.5 first-half goals is priced 6/4 at Bet365.
For a long-odds option, Mykola Kukharevych scored a cracking header for Hibs last weekend and another headed goal is priced 15/2 at Bet365.

Desmond’s goals tips 24th August
To Score 2+ Goals Tips
Guys, two teams I like the look of to score 2+ goals this weekend are Forfar and Clyde.
Forfar have just one point after three games. However, they’re playing a struggling Edinburgh City side at home this weekend. Edinburgh conceded 2+ against Bonnyrigg Rose last week and they have conceded 2+ in all seven of their league and cup matches this season.
Next up are fellow Scottish League Two side Clyde away at Bonnyrigg Rose. Clyde have won one, drawn one and lost one of their three league matches so far.
They are 8/13 to score 2+ goals against a Bonnyrigg side who have started this season poorly, losing six of their eight league and cup matches. Bonnyrigg conceded 2+ in six of those matches. Going for the usual 3 points double that pays 6/5.
Both Teams to Score Double
A BTTS double of Hibernian vs Dundee and Sunderland vs Burnley (1 point @ 8/5) is another one I fancy.
Sunderland have started with two wins and six goals, and Burnley have two wins and nine goals after two games. Burnley got a positive BTTS result in their first away game of the season.
Dundee delivered on the ‘Both Teams to Score’ market in the Scottish League Cup last week, and likewise in their first two Scottish Premiership matches of the season.
Over 2.5 Goals Tips
An over 2.5 goals treble of Ayr, Annan and Doncaster, 1 point at 4/1.
Ayr’s last two home games have seen five goals shared, and they were overs in three of their Scottish League Cup group stage games.
Annan were overs on the first weekend of the season, Alloa’s last away game seen six goals shared.
Doncaster have been overs in both of their league games this season and also overs in their final six league games last season
A roll-up of all seven pays 30/1 for 0.5 pts and a roll-up of all seven being overs pays 40/1 for 0.5pts.
Ladbrokes insured 5fold pays 7/2+. 15.00 KO.

Brighton v Man Utd
James Milner to be booked at 11/4
Ex Man City and Liverpool bound to get stuck in, be wary though he won’t play the full match but still a good price.
Barnet v Southend
Barnet 6+ corners 1/1 Sky
Barnet have managed six or more corners in nine of their last 10 home matches. They started the season with seven and eight corners (on the road) and then 10 against Forest Green at home. Good luck.

Welcome back Hullshaker to d platform. Let’s rock and roll for d new season
Welcome back Sir!
Next Prem Manager to leave Eric Ten Haag, if they lose to Liverpool next week he’s almost certain to be shown the door. The defending against Brighton today won’t have pleased the United board. United won’t take much of a chance with Ten Haag as they can’t afford to be out of the Champions League.
Agreed he’l be gone very soon!
