Aston Villa endured a rough patch before the international break, with back-to-back losses to Club Brugge and Liverpool compounding their frustrations. Manager Unai Emery, however, remains focused on turning the tide as Villa prepare for a crucial clash against Crystal Palace.
Oliver Glasner’s Eagles, also struggling to regain form, will pose a stern test. Speaking about Villa’s recent performances, Emery emphasized the importance of staying calm and maintaining focus.
“We have 38 matches in the Premier League,” Emery stated. “Sometimes we have good results, sometimes not, but we accept it. Our goal is to dominate and impose our tactical ideas while staying strong in key moments.”
Villa fans will be watching closely, not only for the team’s response on the pitch but also for developments regarding £100,000-per-week defender Diego Carlos, whose long-term future at the club is under scrutiny.
With both teams desperate for points, the stage is set for a high-stakes encounter.
