Aston Villa missed last season the immediate resurgence in the Premier League and now wants to make up for it this season. So far, Aston Villa holds in the race and is with 26 points in fifth place.

Aston Villa :
Actually, the Villans wanted to go after relegation in 2016, the immediate resurgence, but early it was apparent that these plans would fail. In the end, only a disappointing 13th place was booked. The most striking feature last season were the numerous scoreless games of the Villans. Villa was on the defensive in the top five with a 47:48 in 46 games, but only three teams scored fewer goals than Aston Villa on offense. In the summer, the Villans could strengthen with targeted new commitments such as by defensive routine John Terry or winger Ryan Snodgrass targeted. While the conceding goal in the current season with 13 goals in 15 games so far even slightly lower than in the previous season, the own Torausbeute could be greatly improved. With 21 goals only six teams scored more goals.
Aston Villa started the season poorly with only one point from the first three games, but has since lost only once more from the last twelve league games. At Villa Park, the Villans are still unbeaten and could fetch 15 of 21 possible points in home games. The last three home games were won in series against Nottingham, Bolton and Fulham. In the last game, the table Nine Preston Noth End was defeated 2-0 away. Center-back James Chester and Ryan Snodgrass were in the lead before the break. Coach Steve Bruce was very pleased with his team after defeating Preston Noth End: “We played well, as we did against Barnsley and Burton. If I’m honest, we could have made a few more goals. Overall, we can be very happy with the game, it’s never just here. ”
Sheffield Wed:
For 17 years Sheffield Wednesday is already waiting for a return to the Premier League. However, the Owls have been very close in the past two seasons, especially in 2016 when Sheffield Wednesday made it to the Wembley Stadium final in the promotion playoffs, but narrowly failed to beat Hull CIty 1-0. Piquant detail to this game: The submission to the gold goal was given by a certain Ryan Snodgrass, who now kicks the upcoming opponent Aston Villa. Also in the last season, the Owls managed to finish fourth after the regular season in the playoffs, but failed there on later climber Huddersfield Town on penalties.
In the current season, Sheffield Wednesday has a perfectly balanced record with five wins, five draws and five defeats, putting them in 14th position. The balance is more unbalanced when they are split into home and away balance sheets. While only a single game was lost in their own stadium, only one game could be won in foreign countries. Only five of the 20 points brought Sheffield Wednesday away. The last three away games have all lost the Owls (against Brimingham, Bolton and Derby). The last game saw Sheffield Wednesday win 2-1 against Millwall.
