Speaking on The Overlap, the Liverpool legend predicted that both sides will have to settle for a point.
Aston Villa are enjoying an exceptional run of form under Unai Emery at the moment and leapfrogged Manchester City with a 1-0 win over the champions last night.
Mikel Arteta’s men will certainly have their work cut out on Saturday, with Villa enjoying a 14-game winning streak at home.
Arsenal scraped past Luton Town on Thursday with a 4-3 win thanks to a last-minute Declan Rice header.
The Gunners will certainly have to improve on Tuesday’s display to pick up three points away to Villa. But Jamie Carragher believes Arteta will have to settle for a draw against Arsenal’s former boss Emery.
Carragher predicts Aston Villa vs Arsenal
Speaking on The Overlap, Carragher was asked for his prediction for Saturday’s game.
He said: “I think Villa are a good side. 1-1.”
Villa head into Saturday’s game just four points behind Arsenal, with Arteta’s men leading the way at the top of the table.
It’s set to be an intriguing clash in the Midlands and based on Villa’s display against City, Arsenal are in for a tough evening on the road.
Emery will undoubtedly be keen to get one over his former club and a win could have Villa fans dreaming of achieving something special this season.
In our view, Villa will continue their winning-streak at home with a narrow 2-1 win over the Gunners.
Arsenal have picked up positive results of late but their performances haven’t exactly caught the eye, whereas Villa completely dominated the Premier League champions last night.
