Sport nationOPINIONI think Aston Villa can seriously challenge Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool in Premier League title race
Pochettino however believes that Chelsea can win the title this year
Aston Villa’s latest victory came after Unai Emery spoke out saying that he wasn’t at Villa Park to mess about – he wants success
Just how good are Aston Villa?
It was a Sunday special for Aston Villa fans as they watched their side thump West Ham, a win that continues their best home run in 40 years.
Unai Emery’s side haven’t lost at Villa Park in the Premier League since March, and have taken 17 points at home this season.
With a global TV audience sitting up and taking notice of a clinical display from Villa, one has to wonder just how far Emery’s side can go?

The table doesn’t lie
Only Newcastle have scored more goals than Villa this season, and they sit just two points behind Man City.
There’s no doubt that Villa need to shore things up at the back, they are still capable of conceding the odd goal they could have done without.
They have conceded more goals than any team in that top six, and Emery will be acutely aware that they need to firm things up. That decision could come in the January transfer window.
The question as to how far Villa can go is an interesting one, after all, Villa are in better form than all the current crop of top teams, barring Spurs, who have the same run of results that Villa have had.
Could Unai Emery’s men shock the Premier League and do a Leicester? The evidence suggests they are going nowhere at the moment and the trajectory is a solid one.
A little investment into depth in the forthcoming window, and Villa only get stronger. They are backed by hugely determined owners with a global vision, they will take any opportunity now to push on and achieve their plans.
Make no mistake, Villa are not the perfect solution to toppling the big boys just yet, they still have lapses that could cost them dearly in the second half of the season.
It’s that second half of the season that always finds teams out, but there is such a belief not only in Emery, but also by Emery. You would be a fool to bet against Villa pulling off a shock this season.
