THE BIGGER PICTURE

Former Arsenal star Ian Wright claimed, after Sunday's clash, that everyone has to take notice of the Villans now that the season is approaching the halfway mark and also claimed that they are the most in-form side along the title challengers in the Premier League at the moment.
WHAT IAN WRIGHT SAID

Speaking on , the pundit and former player said, "That's a massive win. Beating [Man] City, beating Arsenal, a big result in Europe the 1-1, top of the group. Talk about the kind of form with 15 wins at home now, going away to a Brentford side is always going to be difficult and that's what you do if you're going to try and win the title.

"This is the kind of game you have to win to just keep going so you can keep that momentum. Because this is the form, if you're looking at everybody's form, Aston Villa are probably in the best form in respect to a team trying to win the title. 15 wins at home, beaten Arsenal, beaten City and then going to Europe and then coming to Brentford, ok Mee got sent off but they're a team you have to take notice of.
