Aston Villa's 2-2 draw at Villa Park against Brighton, pretty much summed up the frustrations felt throughout 2024, in terms of Villa's league results. We look at the game and compare the team's form across 2024 to their impressive form across 2023.

This isn't a blip, there's issues for Unai Emery's team.

The tale of two games, a win against Manchester City that showcased the potential that still very much exits in Unai Emery's team, while the defeat at Nottingham Forest demonstrated some familiar shortcomings.
