This Villa team won Tottenham at home a few weeks ago.
Although Spurs aren't a reference since they are very instable and fluctuating a lot but I agree that Aston Villa are doing good this season overall. Today's game against Manchester City was another story, it was a very good result for them and shocking one for Manchester City fans and management. Guardiola is witnessing the 4th bad result in a row and the decrease in the ranking for his team.
Gunners won with difficulty their game vs Luton Town and Manchester United made an important victory against Chelsea. They are 3 points away from Manchester City!!
I'm happy for Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United players in their important win against Chelsea last night. This win Manchester United had over Chelsea will help boost the confidence of Manchester United players and they can pick a form of winning their matches. Manchester City is missing the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in their midfield, which is causing Manchester City to struggle to win their matches.
This victory was very important for Manchester United, they were able to make good use of their advantage and were able to maintain the full 3 points and Chelsea did not succeed in stealing these points, now Manchester United has collected 27 points and has the same points as Tottenham, but don't be happy yet because Manchester United might will be shifted from 6th position after Newcastle managed to win the match with Everton and that will widen the point difference with Manchester United.
It is reported that Kevin De Bruyne will return to play in January. Kevin De Bruyne's presence is very important for Manchester City to provide goal assists to Haaland. So far after losing Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City has looked inconsistent and lost their balance, I think with arrival Kevin De Bruyne returns Manchester City can return to their best performance facing matches in the Premier League and Champions League.
