4=) Aston Villa – 54 Fouls

Villa

Dean Smith’s side recruited a number of attacking players over the summer as they tried to compensate for the loss of Jack Grealish, but their defensive organisation doesn’t appear to have been affected.


While not the dirtiest team in the division this season, Villa do try to break up play with a fair number of fouls. We shall see if that continues for the rest of the campaign.
