Despite a poor start to the season under Steven Gerrard, Aston Villa look completely rejuvenated following the appointment of Unai Emery. The Midlands club currently sit eleventh in the Premier League and are only three points from the top six.
Aston Villa’s results have massively improved under the Spaniard and Villa Park has become a fortress, with the side losing only one league home on home soil since his arrival. His three month stint at the club has so far seen them beat both Manchester United and Chelsea at the ground.
While Villa’s support has always been one of the best in the country, their improved form has welcomed near sell-outs for much of the campaign and an average of 41,584 fans have attended games week in week out so far this season.
