Comments:

League position: 20th Aston Villa had now gone three consecutive Premier League games without defeat for the first time since December 2014. They had now kept two clean sheets in their last three Premier League games after keeping only two in their previous 20. It was their first goalless draw in a Premier League away game since the visit to West Ham United on 8 November 2014. With 13 points, Villa had now made the joint third worst start to a Premier League season after 23 games. The only side to stay up with 13 points at this stage of a season was West Bromwich Albion in 2004-05.
