Can Aston Villa keep up their flying goalscoring record in the Premier League?

An astonishing season so far.

00:00 And moving on to Aston Villa in the Premier League, obviously, you know, we've seen seemingly

00:05 coming up with a new statistic every week of who are on the Emrae side. They're just

00:09 absolutely flying, you know, one week it's whether they're in the title race, whether

00:14 they're an established top five team, you know, how good they're doing in Europe. They

00:18 are the second top scorers in the Premier League so far this season. That's an astonishing

00:23 stat for them. Can it continue? Do you think they've got the manpower to do so?

00:28 I think they definitely have the manpower. Their fixtures at home recently have been

00:31 a bit easier than the rest of the thirds in the top six. So that's maybe helped them out

00:36 a lot. But they are very consistent. It's something ridiculous of scoring in every single

00:41 Premier League home game three times or more this season, which is incredible. And they've

00:45 even done so in Europe against Eze Dalkmaar. It wasn't quite that many, but against Hibernian

00:51 it was. And yeah, they are looking seriously impressive. Oli Watkins, Moussa Diaby working

00:56 so well up top together. Even John McGinn and Douglas Luiz, who in seasons gone by have

01:00 not been in the goals. They're scoring plenty. Luiz, I think, made lots of headlines recently

01:05 for making it six or seven home Premier League games in a row with the goal. It's the most

01:10 Avila players done in 20 or 30 years in the top flight. And it's definitely the most by

01:15 a midfielder. So that's seriously impressive. So definitely got the personnel. It's just

01:19 whether they can steer clear of injuries, I think, and whether the European congestion

01:24 does eventually catch up with them. I've been very impressed with their fitness level so

01:27 far. You see Brighton in the same position. They've had to change so many players every

01:32 single week. Villa, meanwhile, have only made something like seven or eight changes to starting

01:36 elevens in the Prem. So very impressive. It's just whether they can keep that up now.
