The Premier League is currently on a two-week break as the focus turns towards England’s attempts to qualify for the European Championship Finals next summer.
For Aston Villa, the pause offers an opportunity to reflect on the impact made by Unai Emery since he was named as successor to former manager Steven Gerrard earlier this season. The former Arsenal manager was appointed ahead of a 4-0 defeat at Newcastle United but officially took charge for the first time as Leon Bailey, Lucas Digne and Jacob Ramsey all netted in a memorable 3-1 home win against Manchester United eight days later.
Since then, the Spaniard has led his side to wins over the likes of Leeds United, Everton and Bournemouth - but how does his record compare to his Premier League rivals since he was appointed at Villa Park?
