Villa have won five of their first seven league games and have won ten consecutive home league games. Their amazing win over Brighton came just days after they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Everton, who triumphed 2-1 at Villa Park last week.
Emery provided an update on his squad’s team news ahead of Thursday’s match. “They didn’t train after our match on Saturday, Boubacar and Diaby,” he remarked. They are not prepared and are not available. Leon Bailey, I believe he is prepared for tomorrow. There is some scepticism because it was a minor injury.”
