Seven wins from seven. Then they came to Villa Park. GET IN! Nicolas Jackson at the double and another magnificent win for Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. I’m absolutely buzzing after that! Join me for The Warm Down as we get into Jackson’s goals, Suzuki’s huge saves, Mbaye making an immediate impact and that vital clearance from Maatsen. City got themselves level, but Villa found a way to win it. I love the belief Emery has given this club. Who was your man of the match, and just how good can Jackson become under Unai?

Grab a coffee and join me at Fika in Cannock for a proper Villa chat. I’ve got plenty to get off my chest about Manchester City and what this whole situation means for the game we love. I remember going to Maine Road, and I feel for the loyal supporters who stood by their club through everything. But what about the memories, opportunities and seasons other supporters can never get back? How did football end up here? Then there’s the Unai Emery to Manchester United talk. Why on earth would he walk away from what he’s building at Villa for that mess? I get into Guillem Balagué’s comments, the authority Unai has here and why any future move would have to be on his terms. And just look at the options he’s got! Alysson, Mbaye, Manzambi, McGinn and Buendia there’s so much to be excited about. Daz Hale’s observation about how happy Unai looks really struck a chord with me. Plus, Ross Barkley: from someone plenty would have happily sold to a player I now see as a critical part of this squad. Another reminder of just how good our manager is. We finish with a message ahead of City at Villa Park. Get behind our players, stay with them when it gets difficult and give this team everything. Which attacking combination excites you most?

Seven games, seven wins. Manchester City arrive at Villa Park flying but we’ve beaten them here in each of the last three seasons. Can we do it again?Join me, Justin, for IN THE TUNNEL as we look ahead to Saturday’s clash. We’ve picked up seven points from our last three league games and head into this one after beating Viking in Europe. This is a big test, but there are reasons for us to believe.Before the football, I’ll have my say on the commission’s findings against City, the financial rules they broke and what that means for supporters of clubs trying to compete within those rules. City have appealed, with sanctions still to be decided—but there’s plenty for us to discuss.Then it’s into City’s threats, where Villa might find opportunities and the team I think Unai could pick.My predicted XI: Suzuki; Cash, Lindelöf, Pau Torres, Maatsen; Gomes, Kamara; McGinn on the right, Manzambi through the middle, Mbaye on the left; Jackson up front. That’s my prediction, subject to fitness and the latest team news.Would you go with that team? Where can we hurt City and what’s your score prediction?Leave your thoughts below, subscribe and follow Justin Talks Villa for more Villa discussion.Up the Villa! 💜💙#AVFC #AstonVilla #ManchesterCity #InTheTunnel #JustinTalksVilla

Three Champions League games, three wins. Nine points from nine. These European nights at Villa Park are becoming a bit of a habit! Join me for The Warm Down as we get into Villa’s 3–1 win over Viking. Ross Barkley headed us in front, Emi Buendía put away the penalty, and Alysson forced the own goal that gave us our third. And there’s plenty to talk about with Alysson. Winning the penalty, running at defenders and making things happen exactly what you want when a young player gets his opportunity. With Ibrahim Mbaye supplying the corner for Barkley’s opener too, have the pair given Unai Emery a selection headache? We’ll discuss the performances, Gomes filling in at right-back, the chances we should have taken and that frustrating late goal. Who was your man of the match? And who keeps their place against Manchester City? Get your thoughts in the comments. Subscribe to Justin Talks Villa and join the conversation.

Two wins from two in the Champions League can we make it three at Villa Park?After our 6-0 win over Fenerbahçe and Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Newcastle, we’re back in European action against Viking. But their 3-3 draw with Bayern is a reminder that this is a game we have to earn. This Month's Schedule of Football MatchesIn this IN THE TUNNEL preview, I look at both teams’ form, the numbers that matter and the different threats Viking bring. Peter Christiansen’s finishing, Zlatko Tripić’s creativity and Gianni Stensness at corners all deserve our attention. I’ll keep the football simple: how we move their defence, create better chances and stop a promising attack turning into a counterattack against us. vikingfotball.noThere’s also a fresh selection problem on our left. Wan-Bissaka suffered a hamstring injury at Newcastle, Maatsen’s planned return to training is not a confirmed return to matches, and Manzambi still needs assessment after coming off. I’ll explain my proposed XI, including Mings as a cautious left-back option and Gomes alongside Kamara, without presenting it as Emery’s confirmed team. but defender in line for returnAston Villa v Viking FK | UEFA Champions League, league phase Matchday 3Wednesday 21 October 2026 | 8pm BST | Villa ParkWhat would your Villa XI be?

Would you swap any of Villa’s new arrivals for the players who left in the summer? Martínez or Suzuki? Rogers or Manzambi? Watkins or Jackson? I work through eight player comparisons, looking at this season’s appearances, minutes, goals and assists, and give my verdict on which swaps I’d make. I also explain why I believe Unai Emery won’t be leaving Aston Villa any time soon. There’s still so much to build here, and I’m convinced he wants to see this project through. Plus, my reaction to today’s Emery press conference ahead of Newcastle United v Aston Villa. Which players would YOU swap back and which new signings are you sticking with?

We’re heading to St James’ Park, and there’s more to this Newcastle side than that 4-1 defeat at Coventry.In this IN THE TUNNEL preview, I look at the numbers behind both teams’ starts, why Newcastle’s home form deserves respect, and where we might be able to hurt them. Harvey Barnes’ creativity, Lewis Hall’s forward runs and Joe Willock’s movement give us plenty to think about - especially on our right-hand side.For Villa, the challenge is carrying our European confidence into the league while keeping control of the game. I’ll look at how we can get Nicolas Jackson running into space, keep support around him and avoid leaving ourselves exposed when we lose the ball.Updated after our 6-0 Champions League win over Fenerbahçe, this preview keeps much of Wednesday’s side, with Gomes alongside Kamara in my proposed midfield. Barkley and Jackson both scored twice, Mbaye offered pace, and Goretzka made his debut from the bench. Ruggeri is out and Maatsen is not yet available. Saturday’s final fitness picture remains provisional: the lineup and game plan are my suggestions, not confirmed team news.
