Arsenal came from a goal down to beat North London rivals Tottenham in the midweek round of Premier League games and the Gunners will look to put a bit more pressure on pacesetters Liverpool on Saturday when they entertain Aston Villa.
The visitors arrive in decent form themselves as they seek a fourth successive win in all competitions, although results on the road have been less impressive.
FST stalwart Alex Wrigley has got the game covered in our dedicated Match Predictions section and now I’ve delved into the player markets to put together this 35/1 Bet Builder Tip.
All prices below are quoted with Paddy Power and all of these legs are covered by their Super Sub offer, meaning the bet rolls over to the new player coming on if initial selection is taken off. New Paddy Power customers can get £50 in free Bet Builder bets by signing up below.

Martin Odegaard To Score Or Assist
Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard hasn’t managed to hit the heights he has reached in terms of goal contributions in the last two seasons but he did weigh in with an assist against Tottenham in midweek and can either score for himself or set up a team-mate on Saturday.
The Norwegian has endured a bit of a stop-start campaign after a spell on the sidelines but his display against Spurs was his best in some time. Odegaard averages 1.5 shots-per-game and 2.2 key passes, and he can play his part with a direct goal involvement against Villa.
Morgan Rogers To Have 2+ Shots
Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is averaging 1.8 shots-per-game for the season and he’s had at least two attempts in total in five of his last seven games, including four in a goal-scoring performance against Manchester City.
Youri Tielemans To Commit 2+ Fouls
Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans has committed two fouls in each of his last two Premier League games and has committed at least two in four of his last eight league games away from home.
Jurrien Timber To Have 1+ Shots On Target
As a big price option, a Jurrien Timber shot on target has some appeal here. The defender averages a respectable 0.6 attempts per-game and when he does shoot he tends to be fairly accurate with just one third of his attempts officially recorded as off target (the rest after either on target or blocked). Timber has managed a shot in three of his last five home games, scoring once, so as an outside candidate he looks good value to test the keeper.
