Aston Villa to achieve impossible over Arsenal as stunning Premier League trend revealed
Aston Villa are true contenders to win the Premier League this season.
Unai Emery returns to the Emirates Stadium to face his former club Arsenal on Tuesday, as the Villans look to continue their terrific winning form.
Villa have won their last 11 games in all competitions, and have been breaking records left, right and centre.
The Villans are currently just three points behind the Gunners at the top, with the latter on 42 points and a much better goal difference.
However, a trend that Aston Villa have built up this year will surely enhance Emery‘s prospects of beating Arsenal, and maybe even winning the league.
Aston Villa’s 2025 away record is to behold
Last time out in the league, Villa turned things around at Stamford Bridge after an Ollie Watkins brace from off the bench completed a turnaround against Chelsea.
The game only pinpointed one key takeaway that has benefited Villa all year long this season, and that is that Emery’s side does not give up on the road.
Teams Aston Villa have beaten away from home in the Premier League (2025):
- Chelsea
- West Ham
- Brighton x2
- Leeds
- Tottenham
- Bournemouth
- Southampton
- Brentford
- Everton
As highlighted by Aston Villa Statto on X, Aston Villa have earned victory on the road in 2025, more than any other calendar year in the Premier League.
Partner this record with Villa’s last two visits to the Emirates Stadium, and supporters may start dreaming of the impossible becoming possible after Tuesday’s showdown.
A win over the hosts could see the Villans on the right path to pipping Arsenal to the Premier League title.

Aston Villa’s key stat from last meeting with Arsenal
Villa drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the same fixture last season when the two sides met back in January, with Youri Tielemans and Watkins both scoring to complete a comeback from 2-0 down.
After Villa levelled the game, momentum swung back in favour of Mikel Arteta’s side, and stats from the game show how resilient the Villans had to be.
| Tackles | Clearances | Keeper saves | Blocks |
| 17 | 40 | 4 | 4 |
The key statistic is that Villa made 40 clearances compared to Arsenal’s 10.
Emery’s men had to stay compact in their own box and allow no room for the Gunners to get their shots off, which will be critical again.
The Villans may have to replicate the same defensive solidarity to get something from this game, which could decide Villa’s title hopes.
