EPL: Schmeichel Flags Aston Villa as Title Threat

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has hailed Aston Villa as serious contenders for the Premier League title this season.

Under Unai Emery, Villa have won their last nine matches across all competitions and recovered from a slow start to climb the league table. On Sunday, they came from two goals down to defeat West Ham 3-2 at the London Stadium, putting them just three points behind leaders Arsenal and one behind Manchester City after 16 games.

“To go to West Ham, who have been improving recently, and come back from 2-0 down to win shows real strength,” Schmeichel told ViaPlay. “That worries me a bit because our next game is at Villa Park, Villa versus Manchester United, and I’m a little scared of that.”
