Aston Villa increases its concern over the start of the season, and Unai Emery is put under scrutiny due to the results after the 1-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest. The Birmingham team is still winless in the Premier League after four matches, only managing to collect one point out of 12.

The 2-3 victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League is the only official win of the team this season. Considering all competitions, Aston Villa's record shows one win, one draw, and four losses in six games.

Aston Villa Continues Winless in the Premier League

The domestic situation has worsened after four matches. Aston Villa began the Premier League with a 4-0 defeat against Brighton, followed by a 0-1 loss to Arsenal, and managed only a point with a 0-0 draw against Hull City.

Nottingham Forest extended the streak with a 1-2 victory at Villa Park this Saturday. Emery's team failed to score in the first half and conceded the opening goal in the 46th minute when Liam Delap put the visiting team ahead.

Alysson managed to equalize in the 74th minute with Aston Villa's first goal in the Premier League. However, the comeback was in vain as Igor Jesus scored in the 88th minute to seal the final result, leaving the team winless for another matchday.

The offensive numbers reflect the issue. After 360 minutes in the Premier League, Villa has only scored one goal while conceding seven. The record stands at three losses and one draw, with just one point earned.

Unai Emery Under Pressure Due to Results

The focus now shifts to Unai Emery. The European victory earlier this week had provided the coach with a breakthrough result, but the loss to Nottingham Forest has reverted the team to the previous situation.

The 2-3 win against Club Brugge happened on September 8th. John McGinn, Emiliano Buendía, and Nicolas Jackson scored the three goals that allowed Aston Villa to secure its first victory in the 2026/27 season.

Apart from that match, the results have been disappointing. The team also suffered a 2-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup, marking defeat in four out of six official matches since the start of the season.

The position in the Premier League increases the immediate pressure. Following the loss to Forest, Aston Villa sits at one point and in the lower part of the table after the first four matchdays.

The upcoming schedule offers two immediate opportunities to turn things around. Aston Villa will visit Coventry City on September 16th in the Carabao Cup followed by a match against Tottenham on September 19th in the Premier League. That league fixture will be the next test for Emery in his quest for the first domestic win of the season.
