⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Aston Villa has now won ten games in row. Villa started the season with bad results and i thought maybe this time would be emery last season in the club, but suddenly the string of winnings has made an unbelievable turning, and they're comfortably sitting 3rd in the table.

Yoro has a problem... I watched him playing in France, and he's miles off it... Doesn't smell danger, weak in challenges, slow over 5yards.
Young heaven is so much more polished as a defender, Cunha should have had a hatrick and sesko missed a sitter. The best they have played all season, but still gave away 3points. They have a bright future ahead of them, as long as they can stick to the plan and the project and ignore all the criticism online who can't accept anything other than instant and immediate change which is just completely unrealistic.

Truly they did surprised all in there level of consistency lately, exactly as you said after there terrible start in the begging of the league making all loss trust in them without knowing they will come back in flying colours suddenly. Although even with there inconsistent performance, some still believed they are better side since they have been doing it for the past few seasons so doing so this season was part of the drawing. 

Am not of the opinion that yoro is better than heaven but both are two promising young talent capable of doing the unthinkable but the only challenge associate with yoro's poor performance is the role assigned to him. Looking at both game pattern, you will see that yoro is more concentrated at a standing role making it easy for him to recover easily when there is danger in the defense line while heaven is more of attacking minded in all games

Aston Villa is in great form and I think they are in the title race if they keep winning their matches, they have won arsenal the current title favorite and Manchester United they will face Chelsea next and if the manage to defeat Chelsea then it is obvious that their intentions is to win the English premier League.
I like how they play and they don't just score one goal they score more than one , they had problems scoring at the beginning of the season but now they are dangerous.

Things have changed sir and the Sir Alex era will never be repeated in this time. Besides, all the clubs are much more developed and there are many candidates who have surpassed ManUnited in all aspects. In Amorim hands, Glazer and players are out of sync with the club's vision.

How do you know it? It's quite possible for Manchester United to bring back their successful era. It just takes time by taking the right steps as well. They must bring in much more quality players to start from somewhere.

But the current owners really don't seem to be interested in that. This is why I get sad about this team. So much potential but just wasting it. Maybe one day let's say. By the way I think Tottenham also has a low quality of squad just as them.

Since change is the only thing that is constant, Manchester United can bring back their successful era if they sign the right players that will help them bring back their successful era. If you are right that the current owners of Manchester United are not interested in Manchester United getting back to their successful era, it will be difficult for Manchester United to achieve that because it is when Manchester United owners are ready for change to happen in Manchester United that change will happen. Tottenham has always had low quality players, and i do not think Tottenham owners will do anything about it.

Yes, after their last win against Manchester United, Aston Villa has won 10 matches. This is one of their longest winning streaks. However, in the next two matches, that will be further tested with matches against Chelsea and then Arsenal.

And now, Aston Villa is also focusing on a next transfer. They are competing to sign Tottenham's €35 million player, Brennan Johnson. This 24-year-old winger has indeed made a pretty good contribution so far.

Even if they win Chelsea it's hard for me to consider them as an actual title contenders simply because I doubt theor consistency.  We still have many more games to play and they keeping top four spots is still uncertain while doing this.

Chelsea is still under probability and the Arsenal and Manchester United wins are not really shocking to me especially against Arsenal since Emery just know how to trouble is ex team, Arsenal.

Unai Emery is a good tactician and knows how to get the best from his players he might not be as proficient as the likes of pep Guardiola, Hansi Flick, Sir Alex etc but he surely knows his onion and I’m very sure if he coaches a big team he’ll surely do well, his time at Arsenal was short lived cos Arsenal wasn’t patient with him and you see how he revenges against Arsenal ever since coming back to the Premier League.
He has turned Villa to a regular top 4 contender and now it’s looking like they’re in the title race. Man U and Chelsea might be tough opponents but Villa can still get the better of them.

Aston Villa is in form, and this season seems to be one of their best seasons in the last 10 years, and if Aston Villa continues with their current form and win Chelsea in their next match, i will agree that Aston Villa is in the race to win the league title, but for i see Aston Villa as people that are fighting to finish in the top flight. Yes, Aston Villa did not start this season very well, but they were able to put themselves in order and fight for a place in the premier league top 4, and some persons see Aston Villa as title contenders.

We don't expect Aston Villa's recent achievements to be like Sunderland's. They had a much better start, but they eventually struggled for consistency. Chelsea are a bit tougher to beat, and the game might be different from the one they faced against Manchester United. To beat Chelsea, they can't afford to make mistakes, or they could produce an unexpected result. If they manage to beat Chelsea then Aston Villa will be title contenders alongside Arsenal and Manchester City, or even a top-three contender if they can maintain their consistent form throughout the season.

At 36 points, only 3 shy away from Arsenal's 39 and 1 point shy of Manchester City's 37 points. 7 points on top of Chelsea that is following them. That is more than enough for them to be called title contenders this season.
I have a feeling that Aston Villa is going to beat yet another "big team" given the form they have had in the recent games

Getting Chelsea humbled at home is something I'd love to see truthfully. They're not just good in the Premier League Competition but also with the Europa League Competition. Like I always say, it is not how you start the tournament but how you finish at tue end, if they can be a lot more consistent, they'll go far. They need to do more than beat Manchester United and Arsenal, they have to extend the beating to Manchester City and Chelsea then we can place them as dangerous or potential Premier League winners.

Yes, I actually agree with you on Aston Villa's performance but I want to remind you that they both Victories they secured with arsenal and Manchester United was played at villa Park which is their home, and we all know how every teams will want to maintain their dignity at home, I'm not disputing the fact that aston Villa are currently in their best performance, but playing at home is quite different from playing in an away matches.

Regarding their match against Chelsea, I hope you know that the match will be play at Stamford Bridge, and unlike Aston Villa, Chelsea also don't joke when it comes to stanford Bridge. This is going to be a very tough match but honestly at this point, I declare my favorite to Chelsea just because they are hosting the game.

If you are now talking about beautiful performance of Aston Villa, which warrant you to say that they are targeting the Premier League, yes i want to also remind you again that they struggle hard last season to catch up with the big boys but unfortunately they could not finish the race. This simply means that I do not have that confidence for them in Rising the title (Premier League), because they are lacking investors that will pumping funds for them just like PSG and Manchester City. If they can have the same as the teams mentioned, honestly I will have that strong belief for them.

After losing to Liverpool, Aston Villa are now on a 10-game winning streak in all competitions. This shows remarkable progress, and they are eager to win the Premier League title this season. They will face Chelsea and Arsenal. They have previously beaten Arsenal, and if they can beat Chelsea, Aston Villa will certainly be the ones challenging Arsenal or City for the trophy. Last season, they only managed to finish sixth in the standings after several poor results. But with their current form, I think they are almost certain to secure a place in the Champions League or even win the Premier League title for the first time in 30 years.

[Barikui1]

Getting Chelsea humbled at home is something I'd love to see truthfully.

As a Chelsea hater, I am not a bit surprised by this your statement, but you will be disappointed because that's not going to happen because if you look at their head to head record in the last five meetings, Chelsea have won twice, while Aston Villa has won only once, and they drew twice, so as you can see, Chelsea have the upper hand when it comes to their head to head record against each other, so you hating on them wouldn't make your Manchester United team better than them, so it's high time you accept that fact, and reality.

It's true that Aston Villa has been doing very well this season, and they are on a winning streak, so that still guarantees nothing that they can defeat Chelsea at Stamford bridge, so till the bounce of the ball, stop playing unbelievable fantasies in your head that wouldn't going to happen.

They are currently ahead of Chelsea and have a much more in-form team. This match will be really crucial for them; if they manage to get 3 points against Chelsea, I think they will remain in the top 3 teams in the league for a long time. The players' motivation is very high, and winning a match with a team in this form is not difficult.
The only thing is that they have a somewhat difficult fixture list with back-to-back matches against Arsenal and Chelsea, and the possibility of dropping points in two consecutive games is quite high

[satscraper]

Aston Villa will certainly be the ones challenging Arsenal or City for the trophy.

I'm on the opposite side of this. Aston Villa have certainly improved compared with last season, but their squad is still far below the level usually associated with genuine title contenders. They don’t have talents comparable to Erling Haaland or Bukayo Saka. Their third place in the table represents only mathematical opportunity, but there is the big gap between that opportunity and the real quality and form needed to compete for the trophy in the end.

We do not know if Aston Villa's performance or achievement will be like Sunderland's performance, but it seems Aston Villa will maintain their performance for a longer time than Sunderland. Chelsea is gradually getting back to form, and I agree that Aston Villa game against Chelsea will be tougher for Aston Villa to win. Chelsea can even make Aston Villa lose points because Aston Villa could not have won Manchester United if Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo had played the match. But if Aston Villa beat Chelsea home from away, Aston Villa can secure a champions league place this season.

Aston villa are currently in form, their performance has been go good, they have been able to get a win in their last 10 matches, but my question is that are they going to continue performing well till the season end? Or will their performance drop when the season is about to end, and they going to start losing even matches which they are not suppose to lose.

Aston villa next match will be against Chelsea, the match will be a tough one, and it’s just going to be difficult to predict. Aston villa will want to continue with their winning streak which I think Chelsea will want to stop, and as we can see most Chelsea players are back from injury, and they are likely going to start the match, but I will be predicting draw in the match.

Yes, the Chelsea match will be very important for Aston Villa. Because if they win this match, they will be very close to securing a Champions League spot next year. They want to solidify their Champions League qualification while also being in the title race. Therefore, I think Aston Villa have a chance to get points away from home.

Aston Villa will undoubtedly be giving their all to maintain their position. A loss or a draw would be a major blow to Aston Villa if Manchester City and Arsenal win their matches, as a loss or a draw would widen the points gap. All three teams are at the top of the table, and winning every match is crucial to maintaining their positions and even having a chance to top the table.
Chelsea will also not allow Aston Villa to take all three points. Level on points with Liverpool, Chelsea is also determined to maintain their fourth-place finish, and this match is sure to be an exciting and thrilling one to watch.

I have a feeling that Aston Villa is going to beat yet another "big team" given the form they have had in the recent games

Aston Villa are in a great position to be able to reach (being very careful not to make mistakes) first place in the table, clearly it is not that simple but they have every chance of succeeding in the feat.
Arsenal can't afford to make mistakes, the points difference isn't enough to rest assured, a single defeat would give both Aston Villa and Manchester City a chance to catch them and even overcome them.
At this stage the games should in theory be exciting, on the one hand Arsenal must not give up, on the other City and Villa have every desire to snatch first place. The bets to place will also be difficult.
