Following a winless start to their season, Unai Emery’s Aston Villa has mounted a remarkable comeback, winning six consecutive games. A dramatic 4-3 victory over Brighton highlighted their form, which has seen them earn a league-high 25 points from their last ten matches ahead of a crucial clash with Arsenal.
The team’s experienced core overcame a challenging summer marked by financial regulations and player sales. Captain John McGinn admitted the squad was affected by a “hangover” from last season, but their resilience and formidable home form at Villa Park have fueled their impressive resurgence.
