Steven Gerrard who was in charge frustrated the club and the players, the management the right by showing him the exit. They struggled that season. Having experienced how tough the Premier League Competition have been during his time with Arsenal failing here with Villa would be difficult so far as he is doing the right thing. The struggles with Arsenal defenders and attackers continued that day. Same way they couldn't get good defending against Luton Town. Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli didn't do so well. Bukalo Saka included all flopped.
The points between the first four clubs are not so much, it's competitive and interesting. It shows that the Premier League Competition is still open for four clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City all together.
The change that occurred at Aston Villa is of course Unai Emery expertise in managing his players to perform better in every match they play. Their progress has been unstoppable so far because they were able to beat two big teams, namely Manchester city and Arsenal. They managed two difficult matches well by achieving a victory that allowed them to compete at the top of the standings. We see their game getting better in every match because they are increasingly confident to get up and do their best with their targets this season.
I think their big target is to lead the standings this season because Aston villa are slowly being able to overtake the teams above them. The next two matches will be easy for them if compared to the previous matches. But I hope they don't get complacent too early because this season still has a long way to go and many surprises could happen in the coming week.
