Aston Villa next six Premier League fixtures compared to Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs & Man City

After a scintillating game week that saw Tottenham Hotspur shockingly beaten by Wolves, relegation-threatened Bournemouth defeating Newcastle United and one of the best Premier League games of all time between Manchester City and Chelsea, we now enter the international break.

The Premier League table is currently looking tight at the top - there are just five points separating the club in the top spot, in Man City, from the team in fifth place, a position occupied by Unai Emery's Aston Villa side.

Looking forward to the next six fixtures for each of the teams in the top five, some have easier run-ins than others. For three teams in the top five, three of their next six games will be against fellow clubs in the five highest league positions.

Each of the teams in the top five will play another club from the top five in their next six games as none of them have a comfortable run-up to Christmas. as Villa look to maintain their place in the European spots. Emery's side continued their fine run at Villa Park this season with a comfortable 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday afternoon but their first two games after the international break are away from home. And here's how their next six fixtures compare to City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs.
