The EPL is full of surprises. Just a couple of seasons ago, Aston Villa fans would be happy if their club finished 10th position. 16 matches into the season, who would have thought that Aston Villa would be considered title contenders. For the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match, I could see it was already over when Aston Villa scored a goal. I noticed Aston Villa have never lost any game from a winning position, if they are a goal up they will defend with everything they have got.

Every team in the premier league goes through a period time where you lose players to injuries. Aston Villa do not have the squad depth for when this happens.
