Interesting to see the results of ManCity and Liverpool this week, it gives the advantage for Aston to leading the league next week.
Any team who win in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match will be leading the league but if it draws then Aston will be number 1, they are only facing Sheffield at home.
Aston villa was able to take advantage of the situation to continue winning the match and that is what they did in this week match where Manchester City and Liverpool failed to get full points but Aston villa managed to get 3 points. Yes, of course next week Liverpool will face a stronger team, namely Arsenal and these two teams will determine their fate as leaders of the standing next week. So, if Arsenal fails and Aston Villa wins, then Aston villa and Liverpool will become leaders of the standings and both will be superior in goal productivity alone. But if the result is a draw then Aston Villa will automatically ged rid of these two teams next week.
Aston Villa will face a team at the bottom of the standing next week so they are highly favored to lead the standings next week. Unai Emery and the Aston Villa players are on quite the right track to show their strength this season because they are quite consistent as contenders for the title this season.
