Aston Villa currently sit third in the Premier League, demonstrating a significant upturn in form during the 2025/2026 campaign. The club achieved 36 wins from 56 matches across all competitions in 2025, securing a 64.3 percent win rate. This success is largely attributed to a core group of experienced players.
Key figures such as goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, defenders Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, and Lucas Digne, alongside midfielders John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, and Youri Tielemans, consistently feature. Striker Ollie Watkins and attacking midfielder Emiliano Buendía also remain vital components.
Manager Unai Emery has prioritised Premier League performance while also progressing in the Europa League and FA Cup. Emery's tactical approach has seen the team adapt, with a focus on consistency and high demands. The squad also includes recent additions like Victor Lindelöf and Tammy Abraham, further bolstering experience. Villa's depth and Emery's emphasis on collective development suggest this trajectory can continue.
