This season is different from the previous season because this season Aston Villa made a lot of progress in their squad and even managed to beat Manchester City. I think we will see a new team that will try to thwart Arsenal mission to win the title. But for now I still believe that Manchester City will be able to defend their title this season because they still give other teams the opportunity to step over them before the time comes for them to become leaders of the standings again.

Aston villa has really showed and put in more effort this season than last season, there winnings this season has proven that and also considering the fact that they won, man city, arsenal, Tottenham show's the fact that Aston villa's head coach has up his game. But for me i don't think they will find it easy to surpass liverpool, arsenal and mancity to win the league. Man city won't give in to that but lets keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.

You forgot to mention chelsea as well as villa was destroying chealse during the early match of EPL. Emery is slowly but surely building his club so well. Im not expecting aston villa to played so well this season. It's amazing to see this club is sitting at the third place of EPL.
I would rather than call liverpool and manchester city are the strongest candidate to win EPL this season. Believe me or not if arsenal will be bottling it again this season. Im not expect a lot from arsenal.
Arsenal is always declining once it enters into the late game, unlike the club like manchester city or liverpool which are very stable and they are to know what they are doing. Arsenal is always botting the chance to win EPL in so many seasons.
I personallly think that arsenal has no chance to win EPL. It is possible that Aston Villa will exceed the performance of all the big clubs by the end of the season. Aston villa is just getting better and better.

Im waiting for another surprise to come from aston villa. I know this club is very strong with the came of emery to the club, Emery is just a great coach but that's sad how big club in EPL was not even eyeing him.

The truth is I don't know how Arsenal can have a performance like that. I believe that when it comes to these clubs, it is mostly focused on the good that each one of them can do, I do believe that Aston Villa can do the difference, it would be a lie for me to say that I don't have faith in a team like Newcastle, because Newcastle for me is one of the things I like the most the way they play, but they are not so consistent, of course, we see City as one of the most stable teams, that have the most control over what they do, but this is just a way to say it, this competition is very strong and I believe that when it comes to such strong teams, anything can happen, it can be That the last one on the table can surpass a Man City, this is something that anything can be possible, personally I don't like City, I have more faith in a Liverpool team because of everything they have been through.

I know that many have forgotten about the Colombian, but this is a fact, the Colombian is in a very good position, Diaz can make a difference, and in reality I would like Mbappé himself to be able to go for this football, he is the only one In the same way, of course English football and Almeán football, I would like even more for a Mbappé to leave because the Germans don't have that way of praising stars or anything, that would lower the player's ego, however with a Liverpool under Luis Diaz , and WEgipci'o could do great things, that's what I see as correct, I don't see anything else, that's why I see it that way, however, the worst team I've seen in the PL, in the UCL is the Man United and it really makes you angry because this is one of the teams that were the scariest in the past, I mean it happened 10 years ago, they have always maintained a great reputation, now in the hands of Ten Hag it seems as if they were haunted , with the best squad they have and they are not capable of doing something, here it is evident that CR7 was not the problem, the problem has always been Ten Hag.

Brentford vs Aston Villa: The Bees’ “bounce back mentality” will be tested after four losses in five

Quote

The Brentford boss also mentioned his respect for Unai Emery and knows Villa will be a tough side to beat, especially with their current form – beating Arsenal and Manchester City last week.

“What I like about him [Emery] is that he always tries to develop. So for example, his high line is not a thing I’ve seen from his sides before, so I like that. I like that he is constantly a student of the game and wants to develop things. So obviously, a top manager.”

The game will also see the return of former Bees striker, Ollie Watkins, to the Gtech Community Stadium.

Frank said: “Ollie has two major abilities that allow him to perform at this level. One of them is working unbelievably hard on the pitch and also in the gym. And two, he wants to learn. Those two abilities are crucial.

“Then he’s got a pretty good package in terms of physicality, pace, technique, game understanding.”

When asked about their plan for stopping Watkins, Frank joked: “I’m not allowed to say ‘just kick him down’ am I?”

He continued: “We are aware of his strengths and those we need to close down. He is constantly going.
