Matty Cash has expressed his belief that Aston Villa has limitless potential under the management of Unai Emery, as the team prepares for their upcoming Champions League match against Bologna. Cash's comments come just ahead of the two-year anniversary of Emery's appointment, during which he has significantly changed the club's trajectory. Emery, who will mark this milestone on Thursday, has been instrumental in transforming Villa's fortunes. When he took over, the team was precariously positioned just above the Premier League relegation zone. His first match in charge was a remarkable 3-1 victory against Manchester United in November 2022, which set the tone for a new era at the club. The manager has expressed his ambition to continue pushing the team to "break barriers" and establish themselves as regulars in the Champions League. With this mindset, both Emery and the players are focused on achieving greater heights in the future.

Watkins scores as Aston Villa bounces back to secure victory at Fulham Aston Villa has made a remarkable start to the Premier League season, achieving their best points tally from the first eight games since the 20th century. While they finished sixth that season, they didn't manage to pull off a stunning victory against a team like Bayern Munich. The question now is: how far can the Unai Emery era take them? Currently, there are no signs of a slowdown, as Villa continues to keep pace with the league's top teams while also enjoying success in European competitions. Since their loss to Arsenal in late August, Emery's squad has gone on an impressive nine-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Their latest triumph came against Fulham, a team that had been enjoying a strong start to the season and had fans dreaming of potential European football next year. This victory not only highlights Villa's resilience but also serves as a reminder of their growing ambitions under Emery's management.
