A Year Unbeaten at Villa Park

Saturday's match against Newcastle marked a significant record. Nineteen Premier League games unbeaten at home for Aston Villa. It's their longest run ever on home soil in the competition. Although the match was not a very bright display, Villa would certainly take the point given the circumstances of Ezri Konsa's red card. The result takes the tally to eight draws and eleven wins in the league during the run.

Whilst, at present, it's not exactly 365 days since their last defeat at home. By the time Villa host Crystal Palace on Sunday 31st August it would have crossed the mark. The record is a massive achievement for the Villans and shows how important the Villa supporters are to their team. Visiting teams often struggle due to the electric atmosphere created and the supporters providing the Villa side with second wind.

The Unbeaten Run

Notable Results

Villa enjoyed some significant wins along the way including the 2-1 win over Manchester City, where Morgan Rogers showcased his talent with a goal and an assist. Marco Asensio's crucial double against Chelsea in a 2-1 victory. A 4-1 hammering against Newcastle, which saw Villa completely blow the Magpies out of the water.

Performances at Villa Park have certainly been consistent, but Villa would probably have wanted to convert some of those draws into wins which would have seen them qualify for the Champions League. The last-minute equaliser from Bournemouth and the draw between Ipswich were games where Villa had numerous chances to win, but couldn't convert many of them. However, defensively Villa have looked solid, especially with Tyrone Mings at the back. In fact Villa have only lost one of their last eighteen matches when Mings has started, highlighting the importance of the Englishman.

Looking Ahead

Unai Emery will want his side to continue these performances at home as well as carrying it into their away form, which they struggled with last year. They head to Brentford next weekend hoping to get their first win on the board this season. Emery will expect an improvement from their rustiness that they showed on Saturday.
