Yes, that's right, no one even thought that Aston Villa could beat Arsenal and Manchester City and try to get rid of these two clubs from the top ranks. Currently, Aston Villa is getting closer to first place and is only 1 point different from Arsenal, 2 points from Liverpool, this season. It will be a very interesting match to see Aston Villa trying to put pressure on Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. I think that if Emery can bring Aston Villa to become Premier League champions this season, it will be an unexpected achievement for Aston Villa, but Aston Villa must maintain its consistency if they want to win the title this season and that is not easy, they still have to play many matches in the Premier League this season. I hope Aston Villa can maintain a good record not only in home matches but also in away matches because coincidentally Aston Villa can beat Arsenal and Manchester City at home.
I didn't expect Aston Villa to perform so well this season. The previous season they were only ranked 7th in the standings. I think this result shows that in the first half of the season Aston Villa was able to appear consistently in every match. And this is a very good indication and there is a possibility that they will get the Premier League title even though it is really beyond everyone's predictions. But I'm sure everyone thinks Aston Villa will deserve to be in the top 4 until the end of the season and will get a place in the Champions League next season.
