"while Aston Villa might have shattered a string of records this season and rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the continent, it is fair to say that Unai Emery's camp are searching for some much-welcomed Premier League stability. Eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Bournemouth over the weekend, the one-time Arsenal boss is enduring his most testing spell of the 2025/26 campaign."
"Both dealing with respective knee injuries, Aston Villa will be unable to call upon the midfield duo of Boubacar Kamara and skipper John McGinn on Wednesday night. Likewise, Belgium international Youri Tielemans is still dealing with an ankle issue and remains a major doubt here. Left as an unused substitute away at Bournemouth over the weekend, Spanish defender Pau Torres could be handed a full recall in the Midlands."
Aston Villa seek Premier League stability after a season of records and plaudits, but Unai Emery’s side are facing a testing spell. Villa drew 1-1 at Bournemouth and lost 1-0 at home to Brentford, claiming only one win in their last five league outings while remaining third in the table. Boubacar Kamara and captain John McGinn are sidelined with knee injuries and Youri Tielemans is a major doubt with an ankle problem. Pau Torres could be recalled after being an unused substitute and Emi Martinez will start in goal. Brighton lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace, have struggled for consistency, and have dropped out of the top half, sitting in top-flight limbo.
