Shrewd signings making an instant impact, Jack Grealish stepping up when it matters and a pair of English centre backs holding it all together... Aston Villa are now the only team in England with a perfect start to the season - where has it gone so right?

It's fair to say there aren't too many similarities between Aston Villa and AC Milan, but this week they are both sitting pretty, side-by-side at the top of the standings.

Dean Smith's side and the Italian giants are the only two teams in Europe to have won every league match so far this season, and the Villains have well and truly taken the Premier League by storm.

In their opening four matches, they have downed Sheffield United, Fulham, Liverpool and Leicester, most memorably sticking seven past the Premier League champions in one of the most incredible matches in recent times.
