Aston Villa had a great chance of taking the top spot in the table for the first time this season. But Aston Villa missed the chance. They failed to win against weak teams like Sheffield United. I don't think Aston Villa will perform that badly in a home match. My prediction was that Aston Villa will dominate the home match and win. But their overall performance in this match seemed weak to me. Aston Villa players were able to make only 12 shots despite having 78% ball possession. And still third in the table due to a draw in this match. Aston Villa are 1 point behind Arsenal at the top of the table.
We saw the expected result in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match. The players of both the teams have performed well. The match was quite entertaining, although we did not see many goals in this match. Both Liverpool and Arsenal players have been able to perform very well.
This round had all the conditions created for Aston Villa to top the table, but perhaps they were just scared of becoming leaders (I'm just kidding). Due to the fact that Liverpool played a draw with Arsenal, this loss of points did not become catastrophic for Aston Villa, there is only one point between them and Arsnal, so the whole fight is still ahead. It is surprising how Aston Villa beat Arsenal and City, but are unable to beat the last team in the championship.
That is the Premier League for you. I was not surprised to see that Aston Villa was not able to beat Sheffield United at Villa Park when people see the match as an easy match for Aston Villa based on how Aston Villa has beaten the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City this season.
