Aston Villa v Olympiakos: Unai Emery still prioritising Premier League despite Conference League run

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery says securing a top-four finish in the Premier League remains the priority but there is "no way" it will distract his team from the club's first European major semi-final in 42 years.

Villa have enjoyed a transformational season under Spaniard Emery and could qualify for the Champions League this weekend if Tottenham lose at Chelsea on Thursday.

On the same night, Villa host Greek side Olympiakos in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final.

"We are very excited for the Conference League and very motivated with the Premier League," said Emery.
