Aston Villa will wear their new blue third shirt against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup next week, with white shorts and white socks instead of claret shorts and socks. #AVFC

Leon Bailey to Hull City in limbo, pre-season scouting report, and Alejandro Garnacho's first outing… 📺 - www.youtube.com/live/Qb7Mn-E... 🟣🔵 #AVFC | @claretbluepod.bsky.social

Aston Villa are back in Walsall for their third pre-season friendly, taking on Real Sociedad before heading to the Far East. #AVFC

Not a bad 45 minutes from Brian Madjo. The 17-year-old is clearly physically developed beyond his years, and his goalscoring instincts were evident with both of his finishes. A very encouraging outing. #AVFC

Amadou Onana says his "whole world collapsed" when he immediately realised he'd suffered a serious knee injury. But he's determined to become a better player and person through his lengthy rehabilitation - a brilliant attitude to have with some testing months ahead. #AVFC

Unai Emery does not want to stop at winning the Europa League... 🏆 #AVFC

Ollie Watkins is the first player in Premier League history to score a brace against each of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the same campaign. #AVFC

Now it feels real… 😍🏆 #AVFC

In his unveiling in November 2022, Unai Emery said: "My dream is to win a trophy with Aston Villa, it’s my personal challenge at the beginning. And my second dream, my objective could be to play with Aston Villa in Europe." #AVFC

John McGinn wants Prince William to join Aston Villa's party in Istanbul after winning the Europa League. What a sentence that is... #AVFC

John McGinn leads #AVFC into battle tomorrow night... 💪 "It would mean everything to me, personally. There's no one in that dressing room that wants it more than me. I've been through a lot here, so to get my hands on that trophy would mean absolutely everything." [UEFA]

Andy Townsend: "McGinn's got great ability, a fantastic engine and work ethic, but he's also got a presence on the field, and he's a very likeable character. He's seen a lot since he came to the club under Bruce. He was a bargain. He's become such an effective leader." #AVFC

Ollie Watkins: "I had a slow start to the season, picking up a few niggles on international duty and then being left out of the England squad. I think it gave me that fire in my belly to come back and prove to people what I can do." #AVFC

John McGinn says Aston Villa fans need to enjoy Wednesday's Europa League final after sealing Champions League qualification tonight. ✈️ 🇹🇷 #AVFC

It's the final home game of the season - and a chance to seal Champions League qualification ahead of Wednesday's Europa League final. Unai Emery has never beaten Liverpool in the Premier League - but tonight would be as good a time as any to change that. #AVFC

Istanbul awaits for Aston Villa... 🇹🇷 🔜

Aston Villa have now lost three matches in a row for the first time since November 2024. It was an awful performance, with work still to do in the Champions League race. #AVFC

Ollie Watkins admits he's been playing with a point to prove after being left out of the last England squad. He's been involved in a goal in each of his last four Europa League matches, with Wayne Rooney the only Englishman to score or assist in more consecutive games. #AVFC

Aston Villa can take a huge step towards Champions League qualification as they look to secure their first away league win in three months. Fulham have lost their last six games vs Villa, with Unai Emery claiming victory in 8/8 matches he's played against the Cottagers. #AVFC

Ollie Watkins has now scored 10+ goals in all six of his Premier League seasons (11 this term); only Sadio Mane (8) has played in more campaigns in the competition's history while reaching double figures for goals in every one. #AVFC

Aston Villa are targeting their first away league win since beating Newcastle in January. Vitor Pereira is yet to win at the City Ground as Nottingham Forest head coach, with the Reds are winless in seven home league games. Big afternoon. 👊 #AVFC

It's now four goals in five games for Ollie Watkins. Hitting form at just the right time... 🔥 #AVFC

It's another big European night for Aston Villa, who face a Bologna side that have lost only two of their last 33 home European games. Unai Emery's team have won four of their last five matches on the continent. 🌍 #AVFC

Aston Villa are enjoying their longest winning run in Europe in the club's history, and Unai Emery says, "Every day with the players and with Villa is an opportunity to build something for the club's history." 🫡 #AVFC

Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, tomorrow night's venue for Aston Villa. ☀️ #AVFC

John McGinn scored in each of Aston Villa's first three wins of the season and has made a huge impact on his return to the side over the last 10 days, scoring twice in four days. Unai Emery knows that his contributions will be key to Champions League qualification. ©️ #AVFC

Ollie Watkins thought that was one of Aston Villa's best performances this season. #AVFC

𝗔 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮. Progression to the Europa League quarter-finals, combined with successive wins at Villa Park to boost their chances of a top five finish. 🙌 #AVFC

HT: Villa lead at the break thanks to John McGinn's second goal this week. He tucked it away nicely too. It was a much-improved first half performance after recent league defeats, with Ollie Watkins looking sharper. Villa could easily be two or three goals up. #AVFC 1-0 West Ham

Aston Villa are aiming for successive home wins for the first time in 11 weeks this afternoon, with a big chance to strengthen their push for a top five finish. Opponents West Ham have lost just one of their last seven league matches at Villa Park. Opportunity knocks. ✊ #AVFC
