With three wins on the bounce, after being winless after eight, Aston Villa now face a Nottingham Forest team that are a place above them in the table. Can Unai Emery's men continue the sharp switch in momentum and get back in the top five of the table?

In the latest Something for the Weekend, we also look back at Villa's successful trip to Leipzig.

There's been storms brewing on the pitch in recent weeks to match the weather that greeted Unai Emery's players and the Villa faithful for the visit of the team with the worst away record in the Premier League, Southampton. Villa finally broke a winless run of eight games against Brentford in mid-week and were looking to gain back-to-back Villa Park wins against the Saints.

As well as looking back at the game (and the weather), we look at a new development with Aston Villa's Fan Advisory Board and also address some recent comments, before having a look at Emery's clipboard.

Aston Villa fans hoped the Crystal Palace game would offer Unai Emery a chance to halt his team's slide. Instead, another lacklustre performance reinforced what’s becoming clear: 2024 has been a sharp downturn from the heights of 2023.

Should fans be worried about the trajectory? Is the Champions League campaign overshadowing Premier League priorities?

We tackle these questions and much, much more.

Aston Villa are at the half-way mark in the Champions League's initial league stage. After three wins, a recent slip up in Bruges means the pressure is on to get a result at home to Juventus, if they want to keep their top eight qualification aim alive. Their final four fixtures are perhaps more difficult than their first four, so Unai Emery will be looking for a drastic improvement on his team's performances in the past few weeks.

It's been a long time since Aston Villa fans have used the phrase 'must-win' to describe a game, but in the context of breaking a four-game losing streak under Unai Emery (the first in his managerial career), a win against Crystal Palace at Villa Park is much needed.

We look ahead to a game that will also hopefully set up some momentum before Villa play Juventus in Champions League on Wednesday.

In this episode of My Old Man Said, Aston Villa’s calendar year form comes under focus, as they navigate a challenging season in both the Premier League and Champions League. From recent defensive lapses to the lingering disappointment of Brugge, we explore where it’s gone wrong and how Villa can bounce back, after a defeat at Anfield made it four on the bounce for Unai Emery.

Can Unai Emery jolt Villa back into life?

After drawing three out of their four last four Premier League games, Aston Villa needed a result to buck the trend to keep them in the top four and shake themselves out of their under par coma. Unfortunately, despite a promising first half, Unai Emery's men unravelled in the second half at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium to compound their recent league struggles.

Life in the Champions League maybe going great, but there is cause for concern in the league.

The Premier League and Champions League tables are looking good, but Aston Villa now face tougher tests ahead, starting with three away trips in a week, beginning with Spurs. The clash with Ange Postecoglou's men will certainly be an early barometer to how good this Villa team actually is.

Aston Villa's unbeaten run may go on, but it's one win in the last four winnable Premier League games, which leaves them with work to do in the tough winter months ahead, if they are to press their claim for top four and shake off the current runners in the race.

Bournemouth's late equaliser suggests that Villa aren't quite title contenders yet and highlights their weaknesses that need to be tackled for Unai Emery to take Villa up further level.
