Unai Emery's programme notes: "I would like to finish by saying congratulations to Ollie Watkins. To score 100 goals for any club is a fantastic achievement but to be the first player to do it for Aston Villa for over 60 years is fantastic." #AVFC

Unai Emery's programme notes: "It is a huge match, indeed. At this stage, the points are pure gold, and we made a huge effort during the season to be in the position we are now. We don't look up or down the table; we cannot be watching our opposition." #AVFC

Unai Emery's programme notes: "As good as it is to be fighting in the last stages of Europe, our main priority is the league. There is still work to do and nothing to celebrate. That's the mentality we need. There's no silverware for anyone who plays a semi-final." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "There is still work to do in both competitions and nothing to celebrate. Let me say that there's no silverware for anyone who plays a semi-final. Sunderland was a turning point for us. It is a huge match, indeed. At this stage, the points are pure gold." #AVFC

“Why didn’t I oppose the departure of Donyell Malen? The one with Roma was a good deal for us and for him. He wanted to play as a centre-forward, but he had little space because we’re getting along well with Ollie Watkins.” Unai Emery on Donyell Malen #AVFC

“I would have liked to keep him, but he asked me to sell him. There was the opportunity to go to Roma and I’m happy for him, he’s an excellent player and I’m convinced he can have a great career at Roma.” Unai Emery on Donyell Malen #AVFC
