Remi Garde’s first game as Aston Villa manager teased supporters of the sleeping Midlands giants, suggesting that better times were ahead.
Since that respectable 0-0 draw with Manchester City, old Villa have returned – and they’ve been worse than ever!

Meanwhile, Watford are now in 11th place with 19 points.
