Unai Emery on whether we are in the title race

“I am not thinking in it. I know 38 matches is very difficult. We are not a contender."

“Outside the pitch, you can always improve in some areas of the game. I definitely want to do that. With the team it’s a big ask, but we’re going to push each other and hopefully finish higher than we did last season.”

“Personally, I want to stay healthy for the rest of the season. I want to play as much as I can and perform even better, adding more numbers than I did last season and being more influential on the pitch.”

Unai Emery

I was worried and I was responsible. I tried to share my worries with the players two months ago and we are remembering it every day. The most important thing is how the players responded, because if they were not responding in the way I wanted it would be impossible

Thierry Henry on Unai Emery

"We all know what he did in Spain [winning the Europa League 4 times]. It's no disrespect to what Mikel Arteta is doing and he's doing extremely well for Arsenal, but I just thought that if we kept him a bit longer he would have been a success”.

Unai Emery

“I’m so, so happy. I’m very proud how our supporters enjoyed this match. We wanted to play thinking here at Villa Park to transmit our supporters our energy, our wishes, our style, idea; playing with energy, intensity, playing football like we played.”

Emi Buendia: "Unai Emery asked me to be in the box. I found some small space and decided to stay there."

"They tried to block the first shot and the ball came to me. I am really happy."

Arne Slot on Harvey Elliott: “I haven’t had contact with him a lot. Once or twice”.

“I am aware of his situation and I knew how difficult it was for him over here. I think I know how he feels. You should ask those questions at Villa”.

Liverpool will be keeping a close eye on the situation of Harvey Elliott at Aston Villa.

While there are NO plans to recall him from his initial loan move, they may have to consider what to do if he returns at the end of the season.

Unai Emery on Marco Bizot

"He accepts his role. He signed here to be the sub of Emi Martinez. He is ready when he is available and awaits his moment. Here [Brighton] it is very difficult to defend corners. How he saved the last action was fantastic. He is so mature."

MLS clubs are prepared to give Harvey Elliott a way out as Liverpool remain furious over his lack of minutes on loan at Aston Villa.

Because he’s already played for two clubs this season, the midfielder can only move to a league on a different FIFA calendar

Milan, Benfica, Marseille, Villa, Fulham, Brighton, Leeds and Marseille in the mix

Rangers are in danger of losing Bailey Rice for free, with Aston Villa and Sunderland tracking the 19-year-old midfielder's progress.

They are preparing pre-contract offers for him in January amid no indication that the Ibrox club are discussing a new contract.

"Ollie Watkins has my confidence. Completely my confidence. He is always doing his task, maybe he’s under his normal confidence because he is not scoring, but he is never giving up, always doing his task. The goals are coming. Sure. Sure."

“Sometimes you win without playing good, but the important thing is the three points.”

“If we want to go to the Champions League, to finish the most high in the table, sometimes we need to win like this.”

“It was a tough game.”

Aston Villa are keen to sign a centre-forward in January to provide depth.

They also view signing a right-back as an option, while a winger is required to replace Leon Bailey, who left in the summer.

Aston Villa are preparing a move for 17-year-old Anderlecht midfielder Nathan De Cat.

They know they will face competition from Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton and Bayern but feel making a move now, rather than wait for the summer, will allow them to steal a march.
