Arsenal vs Aston Villa live stream: Watch online Premier League free for NBC Sports subscribers [Start time, preview]

Arsenal will travel to Aston Villa on Monday looking to gain the win that would see them return to the summit of the English Premier League table.

Today's game will kick off at 8 p.m. GMT (3 p.m. EST) and can be watched online through live stream – free for NBC Sports subscribers – via the link provided below.

In team news Arsenal should have forward Olivier Giroud back from injury, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is fit again following his knee injury.

However, it appears as though Thomas Vermaelen (knee) will miss the game, and of course Theo Walcott has been ruled out for the rest of the season and will play no part.

For Villa, defenders Ron Vlaar and Nathan Baker are touted to miss the game due to calf and hamstring injuries respectively. However, Brad Guzan and Gabriel Agbonlahor look set to be available after recovering from knocks. In addition Ciaran Clark returns from suspension today.

The Gunners have not lost to Aston Villa at Villa Park for over 15 years, and you have to look back to December 1998 when Dion Dublin managed to score a late winner to find the last time Villa managed a home win over Arsenal.

Things do not bode well for Villa as Arsenal come into today's game boasting the joint best away record in the Premier League so far this season. If they win today then they would be securing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions, and would return to the top of the EPL.

This season, Villa's tally of eight points at Villa Park is their worst record after 10 home matches of a top-flight season since rules changed to offer three points for a win. It is unlikely they will add to that number today.
