Now Aston Villa, Arsenal and Spurs have points that are not much different and even though Aston Villa is still ahead with a difference of 3 points, I'm sure they can't last much longer if they lose or even draw in the next few matches. Unai Emery must be able to lift the team's performance and if the results remain the same then in the near future Aston Villa will return to their original place. For West Ham, this team is actually quite similar to Aston Villa and I don't have any more hopes for this team.
Unai Emery said he was very confident to Aston Villa current squad because without star players Aston Villa still able to compete from 3 different competitions because besides Premier League Aston Villa also still playing at Conference League and FA Cup because recently Aston Villa has able to advances to round of 16 for Conference League and on FA Cup too Aston Villa has successfully to beat Middlesbrough and advances to 4th round and they will fight against Chelsea on that competition this weekend and although Aston Villa owner wasn't targetting the trophies this season but Unai Emery says he will try his best for those competitions
Talking about Aston Villa indeed last week they had just slipped because Everton was successfully to stole 1 point from them but i think it is not a big deal because at least their position still at top 4 on league standings and for their next opponent on Premier League at the end of this month Aston Villa will playing against Newcastle at their home ground Villa Park and this is good opportunity for Aston Villa to bounce back because Newcastle was not in the good shape and they were suffering 4 losing streak at Premier League besides that i am sure Aston Villa had ambition want to gets revenge from Newcastle because in the first meeting they lost with big scores
