This has the makings of a phenomenal Aston Villa season, from Champions League qualification to individual best seasons and trophy hopes under Unai Emery.
As the Premier League reaches the double-digit game mark, outside of Tottenham, no-one has had a better relative season to date than Unai Emery’s high-flying Aston Villa, who find themselves in fifth place and just four points off the top of the table.The Villans have collected 22 points from their opening 10 games, which is their best start in well over a decade going back to the Martin O’Neill days, which was the last time the club threatened to break into Europe’s top competition.
How they have bounced back, though, and it is a testament to the incredible job Emery has done since succeeding Steven Gerrard in the hotseat. Anyway, back to Emery and his stunning work in the second city. Since the date of his first game, when Villa were in 17th, only Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have collected more points, and when it comes to 2023, only the champions sit above them.Building off the work initially done by Dean Smith following promotion in 2019, along with serious investment and smart signings by Christian Purslow and co.
Villa are an exciting and exhilarating watch, exemplified by the forward play of Watkins. They have scored 26 goals in their opening 10 games, which has them tied with Newcastle as the league’s top scorers to date. Four were also hit in an away win at AZ Alkmaar, as they rebounded nicely from that early Conference League loss.
Firstly, the Premier League is likely to have five slots when the Swiss Model comes into play next season , which will give the likes of Villa and Spurs even more optimism about their chances. The fortresses both clubs have created this season so far is another reason to be hopeful.
