The ascent of Aston Villa has been an evolution rather than a total revolution.

Aston Villa is an illustrious old club. Among the original 12 members of the Football League,

they have consistently exuded a certain mood, resembling a sheepskin coat club amidst the trendy anoraks in the league.

With its brick exterior, Holte End, wood-paneled interior,

and an opulence reminiscent of many an FA Cup semifinal, the beautiful Villa Park has seen it all.

throughout its 126-year existence. Villa has also won both the English and European championships

at not too distant a time. They have been promoted, demoted, and generally mediocre in more recent times.

Villa supporters have long yearned to break their nearly 30-year major trophy

drought (no, the 2001 Intertoto Cup counts), but no one anticipated that the Premier League may be the catalyst.

“Aston Villa: title contenders” may sound a little odd at first, and with good reason. However,

these are the facts: Ten of Villa’s fifteen league games this season have been wins,

which is a record for them this early in the league season since 1980–81, their last championship campaign.

The Birmingham team has won their last 14 home league games,

matching a club record dating back to 1903. They are four points off the top and could

cut the deficit to one point this weekend when they host leaders Arsenal at Villa Park,

which we are required by contract to refer to as a “fortress.”

If you haven’t been paying attention, Villa is now enjoying some success. After a humiliating

loss at Villa Park on Wednesday, Unai Emery has now won 31 of his 50 games in management,

which is two more than Pep Guardiola had in his first 50 games. Although Guardiola’s teams don’t frequently lose,

This was a complete travesty of a 1-0. Though it was a tough victory for Leon Bailey,

the score could have easily been 4-0. In their victory, Villa outshot City by 20 (22 for, 2 against),

which is the largest margin of victory over a Guardiola club in 535 league games.

This was a complete triumph despite the notable absences of Kevin De Bruyne (hamstring twang) and Rodri (suspended).
