Few expected such a fast start in the championship from Aston Villa. After five rounds the Birmingham club has a 100% result and is one of two teams, along with Everton, that have not yet suffered a single defeat in the current championship. In the standings the Villane take the second place, being behind the Toffee by only one point. True, Dean Smith’s team played one less meeting. In fact, Ason Villa is a nominal leader in terms of points lost before the upcoming round. The most striking event in the first four rounds was the victory over the reigning champion of the country – Liverpool, which the Birmingham club spread across the field with a score of 7:2. By the way, the match with Lersisides is the only one in which Aston Villa have missed. In three other fights, Smith’s men defeated Fulham 3:0 and more modestly beat Leicester (1:0) and Sheffield United (1:0). If we consider all the official matches of Aston Villa, then, taking into account the English League Cup, the Birmingham club have won six of seven matches this season. The personnel situation is as follows. Wesley, Tom Heaton and Kanan Davis are in the infirmary at Aston Villa. Courtney Houses presence is questionable.
These ones are painfully watching the IPL title race get out of their grasps. Their strong start to the season could eventually count for nothing if they do not pick up soon enough. They were shocking in the previous game, failing to overcome lowly KXIP. Sitting third on the log, coach Mahela Jayawardene has to motivate his players to get back in tip-top form. They are still very much in the running for IPL success as victory against CSK will see them move clear to the summit. Openers Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock have been influential in MIs brilliant campaign, wowing on-lookers with their great abilities. The lower middle order of Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya are strong hitters of the ball, and add quality to the side.
