Unai Emery believes Aston Villa are in ideal shape to challenge for glory on three fronts.
Villa’s clash at Brighton on Wednesday could prove hugely important in the race for Champions League football next season – while Emery’s men have already reached the quarter-finals this term as well as the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
After signing loan trio Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio and Axel Disasi in January, along with the permanent deals for Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia, Emery feels Villa are stronger than they have been at any stage of his reign.
