Musim lalu, Aston Villa berhasil bertahan di Premier League setelah berada hanya satu strip di atas zona degradasi. Musim ini, perubahan mutlak harus dilakukan. Tambahan dana uang televisi, bikin Villa lebih leluasa bergerak di bursa transfer, sekaligus meyakinkan Jack Grealish untuk tetap di Villa Park.
Hasil mengejutkan pun langsung ditampilkan Aston Villa di awal musim. Tiga gol Ollie Watkins membenamkan sang juara bertahan, Liverpool, dengan skor mengejutkan, 7-2. Ada sejumlah transfer penting yang dilakukan Villa musim ini, seperti mendatangkan kiper Arsenal, Emiliano Martinez dan mendatangkan penyerang Lyon, Bertrand Traore.
