‘Outstanding performance’ – Grealish hails 28-yr-old Villa teammate after last night’s draw
Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion cancelled each other out in a goalless draw in the Premier League last night. Brighton were arguably the better side and could have easily won the game. However, Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez put in a world-class display to earn a point for his team. The 28-year-old Argentine shot-stopper has been in red hot form since joining the west Midlands club from Arsenal. He pulled off nine saves against Brighton last night. Villa turned in a mediocre performance as a team and their in-form keeper bailed them out. Villa star Jack Grealish took to Twitter after the game to lavish praise on his teammate. Tough game against a very good side 👏🏻 nowhere my standards or the teams standards but a point gained. Well done @emimartinezz1 outstandi...

Premier League 2020/21: Why Aston Villa will finish above Arsenal this season
Aston Villa picked up a 1-0 win over Arsenal in their last Premier League game – the first time in 37 years that the West Midlands club managed to complete a league double over the Gunners. Villa are currently ninth in the Premier League table with 35 points from 21 matches, and Arsenal find themselves outside of the top half with just 31 points from 23 games. Villa would be 10 points ahead of the Gunners if they win their next two games. A couple of wins could also take them into the top four. Fourth-placed Liverpool have 40 points from 23 matches. A club of Arsenal’s stature are expected to qualify for the Champions League at the very least and it will require a herculean effort from Mikel Arteta’s players to secure a top-four finish from this position now. At the start of the ...
‘Legend in the making’, ‘The real deal’ – Some Villa fans drool over 25-yr-old’s display v Arsenal
Aston Villa picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Arsenal in the Premier League yesterday. Ollie Watkins scored the only goal of the game after just 74 seconds to hand Dean Smith’s side a vital win at home. The win takes Aston Villa up to 8th in the Premier League table with 35 points from 21 matches. Smith will be thoroughly impressed with the 25-year-old striker’s performance against the Gunners. Villa needed a quality striker after their goal scoring problems last season and Watkins has been outstanding since his move from Brentford. Apart from his goal, the striker worked hard by pressing and closing down the opposition throughout the game. His movement was excellent and he managed to link up with the likes of Jack Grealish seamlessly. Watkins has now scored 10 goals in the Premier League an...
Predicted Aston Villa XI v Arsenal: Dean Smith to make three changes, 23-yr-old to start
Aston Villa host Arsenal in the Premier League later today and the home side will be looking to return to winning ways. Dean Smith’s men slipped to a defeat against West Ham United in their last outing. Villa have been quite inconsistent in recent weeks, losing four of their last six league games. The fans will expect a more consistent showing from the players. Arsenal have lost their last two league games against Villa and the home side will fancy their chances of picking up all three points today. The Gunners have had a mediocre season by their standards and they are 10th in the Premier League table with just nine wins from 22 games. The London club are certainly beatable right now and it remains to be seen if the Villa players can step up and get the job done. Kortney Hause is the ...

Moyes believes 25y/o is the best player in the EPL at the moment
West Ham United visit Aston Villa tomorrow and will look to bounce back from weekend’s defeat at the hands of Liverpool. Victory at Villa Park will keep the Hammers’ chances of finishing in the top four alive, but picking up all three points at the expense of Dean Smith’s men will not come easy.
