Aston Villa fought until the very last day of the 2019-2020 Premier League season just to avoid relegation. The Birmingham based club survived the drop with just one point as the club accumulated 35 points in 38 Premier League games.
The season was so difficult for Aston Villa that the club lost 21 Premier League games and drew 8 before the season ended. The manager of the club Dean Smith and his boys managed to win only 9 games throughout the season. Hence, the best spot for them was the 17th spot.
This is the kind of terrible season Dean Smith would not want for his team this season. Hence, Smith and his boys started the season in flying colors on September 21 when they defeated Sheffield United 1-0 in their league opener.
They visited Bristol City with the same form on September 24 to play the third round of the EFL Cup. Aston Villa defeated the Championship side 0-3 to scale through to the next round of the competition.
On September 28, Aston Villa visited newly-promoted Fulham for their second Premier League match. The visitors defeated the newly promoted side 0-3.
Aston Villa were however stunned out of the EFL Cup on October 1 when they met with a Championship side Stoke City. The Championship side defeated them 1-0 right on their own turf, Villa Park.
