Aston Villa want to be consistent and shut out any distractions after registering their best start to a Premier League season in 26 years thanks to their comeback 3-1 victory over Fulham on Saturday,

Aston Villa have reportedly joined the race for Brentford star, Bryan Mbeumo, but face stiff competition from several top English clubs, as per Graeme Bailey.

Martinez continues to impress, making ten appearances this season in all competitions so far, conceding just ten goals, and keeping three clean sheets in 900 minutes. The Argentine is now worth more than triple the cost he was bought for back in 2020, as he sits at the table with the world's best goalkeepers.

Aston Villa is tied with Chelsea with 14 points and a 4-2-1 record and sits at fifth on the table. Fulham is sitting at eighth, all by itself as the only club with 11 points and a 3-2-2 record. When: Saturday, Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. EST

A win for the Cottagers would see them go level on points with the visitors.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery must start selecting Ian Maatsen more frequently, starting with the Fulham game this weekend.
