NCAA football betting players are preparing for their season, which begins in a few weeks, but the Premier League is getting ready to start this weekend, and Aston Villa opens up their campaign against West Ham at Villa Park. Villa finished just outside of a Champions League spot last season, and they’ll be looking to build on a solid season. However, it’s gotten off to a shaky start.
Villa heads into the 2010-11 season with basically the same side as last year, and they finished sixth with 64 points, six points behind fourth-place Tottenham. Gaby Agbonlahor led the team with 13 goals in 37 matches, while John Carew notched 11 goals in 22 matches (11 of those appearances came as a sub). James Milner played his way into a starting spot on England’s team in South Africa, although we saw how horribly out of place he was at a World Cup level. Milner had seven goals and 12 assists from his central midfield role, which suited him far better than the wide role he stuck in for England. Ashley Young provided pace up and down the right side, while Stewart Downing looks settled after moving from Middlesbrough. At the back, Richard Dunne was immense after coming from Manchester City, even scoring his first goal for Villa against his old club. Due to the defense of Dunne, James Collins, Stephen Warnock and Carlos Cuellar, along with keeper Brad Freidel, Villa was fourth in goals allowed last year, which made up for their lack of goal scoring. NFL football betting players would compare this to the New York Jets, who had the best defense in the league last year, but had problems scoring points. Villa gave up fewer goals than Tottenham and Manchester City, the two teams ahead of them in the table, but those two teams were also ahead of Villa in goals scored (Villa finished eighth in the Premiership in that category).
