The noise surrounding Unai Emery's team is growing as the possibility of Aston Villa being title contenders seems to be as real as ever. Villa are currently on their longest winning streak in the Premier League, coming from behind at West Ham on Sunday for their ninth straight victory. With 2025 soon coming to an end, Villa's plan to maintain their record of only losing one home game in all competitions for the whole year depends on a result against Manchester United.

Villa are currently on their longest winning streak in the Premier League, coming from behind at West Ham on Sunday for their ninth straight victory.
With 2025 soon coming to an end, Villa's plan to maintain their record of only losing one home game in all competitions for the whole year depends on a result against Manchester United.
After their recent run of form, many might feel that Villa are obvious favourites. However, a wave of anxiety looms over many fans.
Aston Villa's first win in 27 years at Villa Park against the Red Devils was Unai Emery's opening game in charge in November 2022.
Indeed, Villa have only ever won five games in the Premier League against United and just three on their own turf. If anyone can stop Emery's side at the moment, this bogey team seems the most likely.
This unwanted record creates added pressure if Emery's side are going to continue their winning streak and protect the 'fortress' in their final home game of 2025.
