The momentum of Aston Villa’s early-season revival took a slight hit before the international break, courtesy of a winless run of four matches.
Frustrating Premier League draws against Fulham and Manchester United certainly stunted the feelgood factor following the Manchester City victory. Yet after 10 games, to be just three points off the top five is an acceptable position, especially with the team’s evident progression across the autumn months.
Six wins in seven games certainly changed the perception that this was going to be a transitional season for Villa. Indeed, so bullish was the mood after the City win, many felt the newly assembled squad was better than the Europa League-winning group.
