Aston Villa appear to have overcome their slow start to the season and back-to-back wins means they travel to Rotterdam tonight in confident mood. Unai Emery’s side finally showed a bit of swagger in the 3-1 defeat of Fulham on Sunday with Ollie Watkins among the goalscorers.

Ollie Watkins, who signed for Villa under Smith in 2020 after playing for him at Brentford, joined the West Midlands club after they’d only escaped relegation from the top-flight on the final day of the campaign prior. Since then, he’s taken them to new heights with double figures in each and every one of his top-flight seasons.
