The Arsenal vs Aston Villa live stream sees the Gunners with the title chase in their hands — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

The action heads to The Emirates to close out Sunday's trio of games, The Gunners came into this weekend on top of the Premier League and knowing that 100 per cent wins from here on would end their 20 years without a title. Man City kept up the pressure yesterday with their 5-1 battering of Luton, so Mikel Arteta will demand a response from his men today.

Arsenal are still unbeaten in the league in 2024 and their emphatic 3-0 win at Brighton last time out leapfrogged them back to pole position. Man City are now ahead, but the Gunners will have had one eye on Liverpool's home defeat to Crystal Palace earlier today.

But with at least one eye on the Champions League double-header with Bayern Munich straddling this encounter, former manager Unai Emery will be looking to mastermind another win to continue his Aston Villa team's pursuit of UCL football of their own next season. They inflicted one of Arsenal's four league losses this season when the sides met at the start of December.

It all means that despite Arsenal's form, a home win is far from a certainty when the teams meet again today. So read on to discover how to get an Arsenal vs Aston Villa live stream and watch wherever you are.
