The race for 2023/24 Premier League title is gathering momentum, and is getting interesting as well.
Premier League minnows Aston Villa are in for an interesting Premier League title challenge. Unai Emery and his players have played down the likelihood of Aston Villa challenging for the 2023/24 Premier League title but it is becoming increasingly likely that the Birmingham-based side are in for the race.
The last time Aston Villa emerged champions of the English elite division was four decades ago in 1980/81 season. Since then, they have struggled to fit into the new order of the new big five - consisting of Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, who have shared the Premier League titles between them more than any other team.
While Aston Villa have put up an incredible start to the campaign, repeating the 1980/81 feat in 2023/24 season could be magical in an era where big transfer spending has defined the fate of clubs.
Aston Villa Premier League title chances can be rightly doubted as we are yet to wrap up the first half of the season. However, following back-to-back wins against 2022/23 runners-up Arsenal and champions Manchester City, Unai Emery has glossed up any chink on the Villan's Premier League title chances.
The former Arsenal and Villarreal manager got his first win over Pep Guardiola to consolidate on his soaring rise in the Premier League.
Leon Bailey struck late in the 74th minute to hand the home side the win. More striking about the win was that Aston Villa withstood the pressure to clinch all three points from from Man City who were looking for their first win in three matches.
They followed up the epic win with another narrow 1-0 win over Arsenal who finished as runners-up last season.
With the two consecutive wins over the two top sides in the league, they have gone up to third on the table with 35 points from 16 matches, 2 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool.
It is one of the best campaigns for Aston Villa in decades. Unai Emery will be hoping to build on the gains and continue staging a formidable fight for the title when they take on Brentford away in their next game.
