How to Watch Aston Villa vs Arsenal Live Stream in the UK
Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League show Aston Villa vs Arsenal live in the UK on Monday night. Kick-off is at 8pm BST, with Monday Night Football beginning at 6.30pm.

TV Info: What Channel Is Aston Villa vs Arsenal On?
Both Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League carry the game. An Ultra HDR feed is also scheduled for viewers with a compatible Sky set-up.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Use Sky Go with the relevant Sky Sports package, or open the match through NOW with the appropriate Sports membership. On a computer, use the web player; on a phone or tablet, the corresponding app is the simpler route.
If your TV supports the service directly, signing in there avoids moving the stream from another screen. It is worth opening the match before kick-off rather than discovering an account or login problem at 7.59pm.
Can You Cast Aston Villa vs Arsenal to a TV?
If your streaming app supports AirPlay or Chromecast on your set-up, start the match on your phone or tablet and select the TV from the casting control. Both devices need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
A compatible smart-TV app is another option where supported.
