Aston Villa v Young Boys (Thu, 17.45 GMT)
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, speaking at his pre-match news conference, on their recent upturn in form which has seen them win six of their last seven games: “It comes with confidence, and how we reacted inside. In the moment we were not together. It starts with me, and the players following and sharing the message.
“We used the Europa League as a key moment to react, to get momentum with the results. Everything we changed we did collectively.”
On the resilience of the team: “You have to feel it, when you are struggling you have to be resilient. Everton away, Sunderland away, not good results so we needed to be resilient.
“We still have work to do building the team, some players joining us need more time and some are not playing, they need to feel comfortable with us. But we are getting results through the commitment of the players.”
