The in-form Matty Cash has started at right-back, with Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres forming the centre-back partnership. Lucas Digne has performed well at left-back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In central midfield is a duo of Boubacar Kamara and Douglas Luiz. John McGinn plays as a right wide midfielder in a 4-4-2 system, with Nicol\u00f2 Zaniolo and Youri Tielemans rotating on the left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ollie Watkins, with six goals this season, starts up front alongside Moussa Diaby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Watch<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: Last Word on Football looks at the problem with your Premiership club<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Biggest Problem with YOUR Premier League Club\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2GNhwMen_Qo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Aston Villa Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unai Emery&#8217;s side have had a strong few weeks, doing the double over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa Conference League and winning two out of their last three Premier League games. In their previous five fixtures in all competitions, they have averaged 2.4 goals a game; their forward line has gelled more as the season has progressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In particular, the partnership of Watkins and Diaby has been nothing short of excellent. When Villa signed the Frenchman for \u00a350 million, we all knew he was one of Europe&#8217;s most exciting wingers: the 24-year-old managed 24 goal contributions last season. However, Emery has deployed Diaby as a second striker, drifting wide and creating chances for his strike partner. He has been the missing attacking piece the team was seemingly missing to break into the top six.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/05\/aston-villa-new-contract-rory-wilson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Aston Villa Now Look To Agree Five-Year Contract With Player<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Interestingly, the Villains were beaten 2-0 at Nottingham Forest two league games ago. This defeat came as a shock to many fans despite their inconsistencies away from home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, the scoreline heavily flattered Steve Cooper&#8217;s team. The two goals were impressive strikes from outside the box, with Martinez at fault for the second. There were many opportunities &#8211; missed by the away side, particularly headers by Watkins and Leon Bailey, and they dominated the game with 74% possession.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Aston Villa Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Multiple players hold minor injuries and are in doubt for the fixture on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AVFCOfficial\/status\/1728058435218899151?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">McGinn<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, came back from the international break and only trained with the team on Friday, but Emery says if there are no changes tomorrow: &#8220;he will be okay for Sunday&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/10\/14\/italy-betting-allegations-zaniolo-and-tonali\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Two Premier League Stars Removed From Their National Team Training Camp<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Star goalkeeper,<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AVFCOfficial\/status\/1728058877768290685?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Mart\u00ednez,\u00a0<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is returning from Argentina duty with &#8220;a little bit of pain,&#8221; but the Spanish manager said, &#8220;I think he is going to be ready for Sunday&#8221;.
