Aston Villa had a great start in the new season, having achieved one hundred percent result in two matches. Dean Smith’s players first beat Sheffield United (1:0) and in the third round defeated Fulham (3:0). Thanks to these victories, Aston Villa is ranked fourth in the table. Considering that the Birminghamians barely escaped in the last championship, this should clearly add optimism to the team’s fans. In the League Cup, Aston Villa first dealt with Burton (3:1), then defeated Bristol (3:0), and only this week lost to Stoke City (0:1). Five players are injured at Aston Villa: Wesley, Tom Heaton, Erjan Nyuland, Courtney House and Bjorn Engels.
The fifth team of last year’s season does not yet shine with results. In the first round there was a major defeat from Verona with a score of 0:3, but in the second, the team had already gathered, but still could not beat Juventus at home, playing with the old lady 2:2. It can be seen that the club is growing: first defeat, then a draw and now everyone is waiting for victory.
