Has Emery made Aston Villa title contenders?

After beating Man City on Wednesday night, Aston Villa backed that up against Arsenal on Saturday, seeing off Mikel Arteta's side 1-0 at Villa Park.

Having won 15 games in a row at home, Unai Emery has now taken Villa to within two points of the Premier League summit.

So what is possible for Aston Villa this season and should they be considered title contenders?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Football Correspondent David Ornstein, Aston Villa writer Jacob Tanswell and Data Writer Thom Harris to discuss Villa's remarkable transformation under Emery.
