trophy by winning last season’s Carabao Cup, Aston Villa have not won silverware
since lifting the League Cup in 1996.
Could this be their year?
Unai Emery’s side are third in the Premier League and within seven points of leaders Arsenal, through to the last 16 in the Europa
League, and have the opportunity to put themselves among the last 16 clubs in the FA Cup this evening.
“We want to try to get better in the second part of the
season, to compete in the Europa League, to compete in Premier League and to
compete in FA Cup,” Emery said recently.
“Hopefully we can compete in those competitions as a
protagonist as well.”
