⚽ Premier League - Round 7 Preview

🏟 Villa Park (Birmingham)

Aston Villa’s remarkable transformation under Unai Emery continued with a stunning 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in midweek, marking two wins from two in the UEFA Champions League. Villa’s rise is all the more impressive considering their recent struggles, having been involved in a relegation battle before Emery’s arrival in late 2022. Now, with Emery's first game in charge being a home victory over Manchester United, the home fans will be confident of repeating that success. Villa has enjoyed a strong Premier League campaign so far, with only one defeat to Arsenal (W4, D1), making this their best start to a season since 2008/09.

In stark contrast, Manchester United finds itself in turmoil. Erik ten Hag’s position as manager appears increasingly precarious following a disappointing 3-0 loss to Tottenham and a 2-2 draw with Porto, where United squandered a two-goal lead and needed a stoppage-time equalizer to salvage a point. United is currently languishing in 13th place in the Premier League (W2, D1, L3), far from their usual title-contending form. However, the Red Devils do have history on their side, with just one defeat in their last 25 league visits to Villa Park (W16, D8). United’s 40 head-to-head Premier League wins over Villa are just one short of the all-time record against a single opponent.
