Aston Villa was defeated 1-2 by Nottingham Forest away in the last round. Unai Emery’s wards last long in their lead, having only given up their lead through two-in quick succession in the closing minutes of the match making it the fourth consecutive defeat for them in the league in the span out of their home ground. Their hopes of getting into the top four were severely endangered by this loss. At the moment, the club occupies the seventh position only three points away from the fourth spot.
It is apparent that their away form will be the bane for Villa, as they only have two wins in their last eight matches on the road with the last eight being in the Premier League. However, when at Villa Park, the last 13 home games of theirs, which they lost one to Arsenal, at the most, managed to win six and draw six. So, strong seems to be their home ground.
The previous round did not turn out to be smooth for Manchester City as they lost against Manchester United in the derby at home by 1-2. Being at the top until the final stages of the match the scoring was nearly even but two goals in quick succession ruined that for them. This marked their fifth loss of seven matches in the premier league ending their title defense position within the remaining four spots. Their position in the quarter finals of the Champions League does remain untouched as they are just a point adrift.
In the past eleven official matches, City has won one, drawn two, and lost eight, which is quite alarming in relations to any team it’s unusual to say the least. They have failed to win away from home also for the last four Premier League games (1 draw, 3 losses).
