Aston Villa (18th)

Birmingham. Emery's Villa finished 4th in 25/26 with a league-best 8-game winning run and won at the Etihad on Pep's farewell. Back in the UCL. Villa Park redevelopment ongoing. Deep squad, strong home form; European load management is the swing factor.

Sunderland (12th)

Promoted-season fairytale: 7th and a Europa League place under Regis Le Bris, despite that 0-5 home loss to Forest. Stadium of Light rocking (40k+). Young squad now facing Thursday-Sunday grind; regression likely but base level looks solid.

Arsenal (1st)🔥

strong away

London. 2025/26 champions (85pts) ending a 22-year wait under Arteta, then lost the UCL final to PSG on penalties. Raya 19 clean sheets; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze core. Elite defence, title favourites again; emotional hangover from Budapest the main risk.
