Sunderland v Aston Villa - Matt Maher preview

Transcript

00:00Good afternoon from Bodymour Heath where Unai Emery's held his press conference ahead of Sunday's trip to Sunderland.

00:07Villa still looking for their first win of the season, still looking for their first Premier League goal.

00:13Obviously Harvey Elliott scored in the Carabao Cup at Brentford on Tuesday, but Villa ended up losing the tie on penalties.

00:20So the mood not really massively lifted by that result.

00:25Albeit Villa did play perhaps a bit better than they had in the first four Premier League games.

00:30Long old trip to the Stadium of Light on Sunday.

00:33It's the first game Villa have played there since 2018 when Sunderland were heading towards League One.

00:40Unai Emery in his press conference today revealed that he's actually watched Sunderland till I die.

00:45He's aware of their story and obviously the fact that the club is back on the up.

00:49The Black Cats have won both of their Premier League home matches so far.

00:53So this is going to be no easy task for a Villa team who badly need a result, badly need a performance to breathe some life into this campaign.

01:02Not great news on the injury front either.

01:05Bubakar Kamara obviously back, came off the bench on Tuesday night.

01:09He's pushing to start on Sunday.

01:13But no good news anywhere else.

01:15Amadou Inan is still out.

01:17Cross Barkley is still out.

01:18Andres Garcia is still out.

01:20Yuri Tielemans is out.

01:21He came off with a calf injury at Everton.

01:23The hope is that he won't be out for too long.

01:26He could even be back for the Bologna game next Thursday.

01:31But won't be available on Saturday.

01:34Yeah, Villan just need, you know, they need something done.

01:36They need something to spark this season.

01:39So far the performances haven't been there.
