REVEALED: Unai Emery has had the ninth-best start in Premier League history after 35 games at Aston Villa... with Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger not even in the top 10

Unai Emery's arrival at Aston Villa has evidently precipitated a transformation in not just the success of the club, but their stature on the European stage despite his thus far short tenure - but perhaps we underestimate quite the impact he has had.

Emery inherited an ailing Villans side from Steven Gerrard, with the threat of relegation dangling agonisingly in front of them after two wins by the end of October 2022, needing immediate results to kickstart their revival.

You need only look at the numbers to see that is just what Emery has done.
