Unai Emery admits the start of Aston Villa’s season has felt strange but remains excited about what can be achieved this campaign.

Villa have begun the league season without a win and are yet to score , following matches against Newcastle United , Brentford, Crystal Palace, and Everton.

Deadline day signing Harvey Elliott ended the club’s goal drought in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, offering some light relief. However, Aaron Hickey equalised for Brentford, who then went on to win the penalty shootout.

Villa now face the challenge of playing five games in just 14 days, including two Europa League fixtures against Bologna and Feyenoord.

Next up for Emery’s side is a trip to Sunderland, followed by back-to-back home league matches against Fulham and Burnley.
