Episode Description

After an unscheduled week off, we’re back to hail the best football team in England.

Aston Villa have won six Premier League matches in a row for the first time since the Premier League became the Premier League. It’s been a quite incredible turnaround.

Villa have beaten Brighton & Hove Albion, Arsenal, Basel and West Ham United since our last (published) episode, so there’s plenty to catch up on.

This week, we talk about those four matches and various threads within, including Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins.

Chris Nee and Steven Green also discuss the xG furore because, well, it’s funny.
