Aston Villa and Fulham Analysis: Key Talking Points in November 2026

Aston Villa and Fulham in Focus

Aston Villa FC are being talked about again. The table says what that talk is worth.

The Season So Far, in Numbers

Aston Villa FC are 9th in the Premier League on 12 points from 9 games: 3 won, 3 drawn, 3 lost. They have scored 10 and conceded 13, a goal difference of -3 — 1.11 scored and 1.44 conceded per game.

Tottenham Hotspur FC sit directly above on 12, level on points. Hull City AFC are next below on 11, 1 behind.

The gap to Manchester City FC at the top is 9 points.

What the Split Tells You

At 1.11 scored and 1.44 conceded per game, this is a side losing both halves of the game. Goal difference of -3 after 9 games is the honest summary — it moves slower than form does, and it is the number that ends up deciding where a side finishes.

The Pace They Are On

12 points from 9 is 1.33 per game. Held across a full season that lands around 51 points. Whether that is enough depends entirely on the clubs immediately around them in the table above — which is why the gap to Tottenham Hotspur FC matters more than the headline that brought you here.
