Aston Villa failed to win any of their first six games of the 2025/26 season across all competitions. The Villains didn’t score in four of those match-ups.

However, Aston Villa have since turned things around and are on a remarkable winning streak that they will hope to continue this weekend.

The Villans claimed a 1-0 victory over Bologna and have steadily built momentum, winning six of their last seven games.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery revealed how he has managed to steady the ship.

What looked to be a horrendous season on the horizon now appears promising once again.

Emery explained (via AVFC.CO.UK), “We increased our demands in the training sessions and in meetings.

“I was worried one month ago about how we were performing because it was a bad, bad moment, and our performances were poor.

“I was so worried. I transmitted to the players my worries and tried to get solutions. We were working hard to come back from the bad form we had.

“Progressively, we are getting better. Now is the moment we have one problem, if we are relaxing, because we are performing better, we can get confused.

“My worry now is to try to be very demanding and keep being consistent like we did the last matches we played.

“Tomorrow, if we want to be with the level Liverpool have, we have to be so, so demanding, clinical and focused in everything we have to do

Aston Villa now have a fantastic opportunity to show just how far they’ve come.

Facing a Liverpool side that has lost six of their last seven matches, Emery’s men will fancy their chances of extending this red-hot run.

Confidence is flowing through the squad again.

If they replicate the intensity and tactical discipline they showed against Manchester City, they could punish a vulnerable Liverpool side.

With momentum firmly on their side, this is the kind of statement performance that could propel the Villans further up the table into one of the European slots.
