Unai Emery has made a significant impact at Aston Villa.

Under his leadership, Aston Villa qualified for the Champions League in his first full season and currently sits high in the Premier League standings.

With 12 wins in their last 13 games across all competitions, Villa is in a strong position in both the Premier League and Europe.

They sit third in the Premier League, only six points behind leaders Arsenal. This is notable as Villa hasn’t finished higher than fourth in the top flight since their second-place finish in the inaugural 1992/93 season.

A vital reason for their success has been a strong home record. Aston Villa boasts the highest home win percentage of any team in Europe’s top five leagues over the past year.

Villa has won 82.1% of their home games at Villa Park, outperforming major clubs like Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona.

This season, they have lost just one of ten league games at home, a surprising defeat to Crystal Palace in August. They’ve won their last eight home league matches and hold a perfect home record (3/3) in the Europa League this season.

The five teams with the highest home win percentage since January 2025

  1. Aston Villa – 82.1%
  2. Atletico Madrid – 80.8%
  3. Manchester City – 80%
  4. Bayern Munich – 80%
  5. Barcelona – 79.3%
