Unai Emery has significantly transformed Aston Villa’s fortunes, a feat he wasn’t given enough time to achieve at Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal has had an impressive season, but if they finish as runners-up again, Emery’s achievements at Villa might stand out even more. Last season, Arsenal led the league for most of the time but ended up second. This season, they could win the championship if they beat Everton and Manchester City fails against West Ham.

Villa, struggling under Steven Gerrard, has been revitalized by Emery, who could have similarly transformed Arsenal if given more time.
