  • Aston Villa are yet to win (D1 L2) or score in the Premier League so far this season; no side has failed to score in their opening four games of a campaign in successive seasons in England’s top four tiers, with Villa having done so in 2025-26.

  • Only Bournemouth (12), Brentford (11) and Leeds United (11) have drawn more Premier League games in 2026 than Nottingham Forest (10), while only Andoni Iraola (33) has overseen more draws than Forest boss Oliver Glasner since arriving in the competition in February 2024 (31).
