With just weeks left for the 24th season of the English Premier League (EPL) to begin, let’s have a look EPL 2015 team Aston Villa, its history and how it might fare this summer.
With just 10 wins and 20 losses, Aston Villa barely avoided relegation and would have a tough time this season getting back on track.
