Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to BBC MOTD on whether today's draw was a missed opportunity: "The match we deserved to win, when it was 11v11 it was very difficult. They were being man to man and being very aggressive. We had some very good chances for Ollie Watkins and we needed to be clinical.

Unai Emery is hopeful Ezri Konsa will return before the end of the month to ease Villa’s defensive shortage. Konsa suffered a hamstring injury in last weekend’s FA Cup win over Tottenham but Emery is confident the issue is not too serious.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery was left frustrated after their 1-1 draw with Ipswich. Liam Delap had Ipswich ahead before Ollie Watkins' equaliser, with Axel Tuanzebe being sent off for the Tractor Boys. “We lost a very good opportunity, but we played aiming to win,” Emery said.

Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa offers him a crucial chance to revive his career, as Unai Emery backs the England forward to rediscover his best form despite his struggles at Manchester United.

Aston Villa also got through in the FA Cup, beating Tottenham, but they have gone three games without a win in the league - drawing with Arsenal and West Ham, and losing to Wolves. All three of those results came after midweek matches, however, and not being in the Champions League play-off round this week is a big boost for Villa.

A Liam Delap goal helped Ipswich Town overcome a red card for Axel Tuanzebe as they grabbed a 1-1 Premier League draw away to Aston Villa on Saturday, with Ollie Watkins netting a 69th-minute equaliser for the home side.
