Aston Villa has emerged as a surprise Premier League title challenger, achieving their best winning streak in over a century. After a slow start to the season, including a five-match winless run and criticism from manager Unai Emery about player laziness, the team has secured 11 consecutive victories. This success has placed them among the top contenders, tied on points with league leaders Arsenal and ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool. Key victories, including a recent win against Arsenal and a comeback against Chelsea, highlight their strong form.
