Quotes
“We must be positive. We must accept this result in the Premier League because every team (is) showing their capacity, how difficult is the Premier League, for us, for other teams," Villa manager Unai Emery said after his side's draw with Leeds.
“How we are third, still being there, how we achieved today one point like how we were, I think should be something (we) must accept like a positive result and keep going forward, because we are going to try to be consistent in 38 matches. Now we are (on) the day 27, we’re still being third.
''Of course, we lost some points at home, normally we weren’t losing before, but I am positive with how we are going to continue working, building the team. “We are going to recover again, our good mood here at home with our supporters and with our structure, tactically and individually.”
Head-to-Head
Villa claimed a 1-0 win over Wanderers in their last Premier League meeting, which was at Villa Park in November 2025.
