Aston Villa News & Analysis
Unai Emery is bringing the Villans to one of their best seasons in the Premier League era. The Birmingham club is currently in Top 3 and that’s massive success. The Spanish manager managed to build one of the best English teams during his time at the Villa Park.
In their last game Aston Villa got back to winning. Emery’s boys faced Brighton & Hove Albion at home, and one strike was enough for a 1-0 win. It wasn’t easy, though – Brighton’s Jack Hinshelwood scored himself an own goal in the 86th minute.
Emery could make a change or two for the next match. Leon Bailey could reinforce the attack while Tammy Abraham is also an option upfront. Abraham arrived at the club in January so he’s hungry for some goals and success. John McGinn remains sidelined with an injury.

Leeds find themselves at 15th place before the trip to Birmingham. The Peacocks are doing well so far – they are six points ahead of the 18th West Ham. But they need to keep that distance.
In their last match Leeds faced Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge and managed to secure a point after a 2-2 draw. Daniel Farke’s team was actually two goals behind, but got a point with goals from Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor. It was a heroic performance from Leeds against one of the biggest English sides.
Daniel Farke could give Noah Okafor a chance after his goal against Chelsea. The Swiss striker is a proven quality, but he was benched at the Bridge. Now it could be a different story for him.
