The Premier League table based on the total squad transfer values of all 20 teams.

Aston Villa have begun the new season in style, with just one defeat in their opening seven Premier League matches.

Unai Emery’s side have continued their fine work from last campaign’s fourth-placed finish, building further momentum toward becoming an established European outfit.

That’s been proved in the Champions League itself, too, as Villa have won their opening two fixtures. The second of those victories was incredibly impressive as they beat Bayern Munich by one goal to nil at Villa Park.

On paper, Emery has achieved these remarkable feats with a squad not quite at the level of those in the so-called ‘big six’. Villa’s financial power is far less significant than those teams, too, making the progress all the more admirable.
