Villa march north in a different mood. Unai Emery has chiselled resilience and ambition into this squad, a group now comfortable in the Premier League’s sharp company. Winless in their opening six games, they have since lost one of seven, culminating in that eye widening victory against Manchester City. Confidence does not just exist, it travels.

Whether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.

Arsenal can extend their lead at the top when they go to Burnley, Tottenham host Chelsea in one of two London derbies, while Liverpool will be hoping to end their dreadful run in the late game.
