    Aston Villa fans, this is the night you have been waiting for. Villa could finish a day top of the Premier League 18 matches into the season for the first time since December 1998.

    Is it on? Can Unai Emery's team do a Leicester?

    Tonight they host bottom side Sheffield United who have only ever managed one point and one goal - scored by Brian Deane in January 1993 - in their five Premier League visits to Villa Park.

    The nation is watching.
