Saturday's Premier League football predictions including Leeds vs. Arsenal

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for both today's Premier League fixtures - Aston Villa vs. Burnley and Leeds vs. Arsenal.

Amid the coronavirus chaos in the Premier League, Aston Villa are due to welcome Burnley to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, with the fixture as it stands scheduled to go ahead.

Villa were victorious on Tuesday night, recording a 2-0 win at Norwich City, but Burnley saw their clash with Watford, scheduled for Wednesday, called off at the final moment due to a COVID-19 outbreak in Claudio Ranieri's squad.

We say: Aston Villa 2-1 Burnley


Villa have not beaten Burnley at Villa Park since October 2010, but the home side have shown excellent form under Gerrard, and we are expecting a Villa victory on Saturday afternoon, albeit by a close scoreline.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Leeds vs. Arsenal (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Leeds United will attempt to respond to their humiliating 7-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City last time out when they welcome Arsenal to Elland Road on Saturday.

Marcelo Bielsa's side fell to the club's joint-heaviest ever league defeat on Tuesday night, while Arsenal climbed into the top four 24 hours later with victory over West Ham United.

We say: Leeds United 1-1 Arsenal


The formbook points firmly to an Arsenal win in this match, but it may not be that straightforward with Leeds having only lost twice at home this season and Arsenal having only won twice on the road.

Bielsa will also be demanding a response to Tuesday's mauling at Man City, so we are backing the hosts to get something out of this game.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
