Aston Villa Report

John Townley

Big opportunity for Aston Villa this evening after Man United and Chelsea dropped points last night. They've won seven of their last nine league games against Brighton and are aiming to complete the double over them for the third time, after 2022-23 and 2023-24. #AVFC

None of #AVFC’s signings have scored yet this season – is this an issue? Unai Emery's sheer coaching expertise has counteracted outside concerns over recruitment and lack of XI evolution. But Villa's approach shows obvious differences to many in the PL: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7035536/2026/02/11/aston-villa-signings-goals-emery

Unai Emery urges the Villa Park crowd to be the 12th man as #AVFC look to start a new winning run at home. "Like us, they should be full of energy. We need them, pushing players. Without Super John McGinn, they must get another player with a 'Super' name!" https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/unai-emery-sends-villa-park-33400553
