Transcript

00:00Good afternoon from Bodymoor Heath where the sun is shining, it's a bit chilly but for

00:06once this week it's not actually raining. Unai Emery has just held his pre-match press

00:11conference ahead of Sunday's Premier League match at Ipswich and while it's the start

00:16of a huge week for Villa with games against Bayern Munich and Manchester United to come,

00:22Emery only has eyes for the Tractor boys at this point. The manager pointing out that

00:28in the last couple of seasons Villa have gone into Europe, the Conference League and

00:32then the Champions League by one point and then two points and that every match is crucial

00:37so he's certainly not looking past Ipswich. Next week has got very much a 1980s flavour,

00:44a bit of an early 1980s flavour. Obviously Ipswich, the team they beat to the title in

00:491981 and then Bayern, the team that obviously beat in the European Cup final in 1982. But

00:56it doesn't seem that Wednesday is not yet in Emery's thoughts, he's always very much

01:02focused solely on the next game. Obviously Ipswich winless, Villa very good at taking

01:10care of business since Emery's come in against the teams they're supposed to beat. So they'll

01:14go into the game as big favourites but obviously nothing is guaranteed and Kieran McKenna's

01:20side will be out to get their first win of the season. In terms of injury news, well

01:26positive news for Villa on one front in that Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara have been

01:31back in full training for near enough of a fortnight now. They're going to play for the

01:34under-21s next week and Emery believes they'll be back and available for the first team after

01:40the international break. Obviously a huge boost for Villa, one area of the team at the

01:44minute that's a bit short is in defence. Diego Carlos has trained, obviously after missing

01:52out at Wycombe on Tuesday so he's going to be involved. Jon McGinn's likely to miss out

01:57we think on Sunday so there'll be a bit of a reshuffle there. Leon Bailey likely to come

02:02into the team. Six wins from seven for Villa but Emery pointing out that there's still

02:07elements of the game or the matches that he's not been happy with. They've trailed in the

02:12last two before coming back to win but you can't keep giving teams head starts is kind

02:16of his message.
