EPL: Emery Outlines Aston Villa’s Path To The Summit

Following Aston Villa’s 2-1 triumph over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, manager Unai Emery addressed the growing conversation regarding his team’s status as Premier League title contenders.

The club is currently in the midst of its most dominant run since the Premier League’s inception, consistently proving they can go toe-to-toe with the division’s traditional “Big Six.”

This latest victory, fueled by a standout performance from Ollie Watkins, marks an impressive streak of 11 straight wins across all competitions. With eight consecutive league wins under their belt, Villa now sit just one point behind Manchester City and three points away from league leaders Arsenal.

As the West Midlands side prepares for their upcoming trip to Arsenal, Unai Emery has shared his thoughts on the team’s chances of securing their first Premier League title.

Despite their strong standing in the table, Unai Emery has played down talk of a title charge, telling Sky Sports News that his team isn’t ready to be considered contenders just yet. The Spaniard noted that he doesn’t believe they should be ranked alongside established heavyweights like Manchester City and Arsenal at this point in their development.

“No, not really. I’m not feeling it,” said the Villa boss. “I’m feeling we are competing very well. And we are now the third in the league with two teams, Manchester City and Arsenal – wow, fantastic performance they are getting.”

Even though they were 10 points behind following his team’s Saturday evening win, Emery surprisingly named Chelsea and Manchester United as potential rivals to their European qualification hopes.

“We are going to play 38 matches,” warned Emery. “We are on day 18. Still 20 matches to play and there are teams like Liverpool, like Chelsea, like Manchester United, like other teams.

“Of course, we must compete against them and this is our objective to compete against them and try to be more or less consistent in 38 matches like we are now. But even being consistent like we are now, and performing very well like we are now, Arsenal and Manchester City are in front of us.”
