LONDON, United Kingdom, (AFP) — Unai Emery refused to label Aston Villa as Premier League title contenders after his side climbed to third place with a 1-0 win against champions Manchester City.
Villa underlined their impressive rise since Emery took charge last season when they out-played treble winners City on Wednesday.
Leon Bailey’s deflected strike in the 74th minute gave Villa a club record-equalling 14th consecutive home victory.
City boss Pep Guardiola believes Villa could “definitely” be among the teams in the title fight at the end of the season.
Emery’s men are just four points behind leaders Arsenal, who visit Villa Park on Saturday for a significant showdown.
But, ahead of the clash with the club that sacked him in 2019, Emery played down Villa’s hopes of winning the title for the first time since 1981.
“We are not contenders. There are seven teams who are contenders more than us,” Emery said.
“Now we are on game 15. We are going to play game 16 on Saturday against Arsenal and we are going to focus on it.
