Aston Villa host Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday as the first part of a domestic doubleheader between these two sides. Unai Emery debuts as Villans boss this weekend after being appointed as Steven Gerrard’s successor and the Spaniard faces a tough start to life with Erik ten Hag’s men visiting Villa Park ahead of another meeting at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup come Thursday before a trip to face Brighton and Hove Albion on the eve of the break for the FIFA World Cup.
“We have to start thinking only the next match because we are not in a good position in table,” said Emery of the 16th position in the Premier League table Villa find themselves in after just three league wins all season. “Each match is going to give us a lot of information about the players. I want to test them individually and collectively. The next match is my only focus.”
Up against a United side unbeaten in nine across all competitions, it is probably the most sensible approach from Emery who returns to England almost three years after his spell with Arsenal ended.
