It's all change for Unai

EIGHT changes? Facing potential Champions League qualifiers? Midway through a hectic schedule?

- 

No problem. Not for Unai Emery's post-transfer window squad at Aston Villa.

Note the key word: Squad. The statistics are piling up now that the Spaniard has welcomed a string of faces - old and new into the fold.

The treatment table has cleared and the canny Iberian is swapping and changing his hand like a card sharp.

Three games in seven days - and the prospect on Wednesday of a Champions League quarter-final at Paris Saint-Germain - stretched Villa's resources.

Three goals in two games for Marcus Rashford?

No, son, you'll have to settle for a spot on the bench - Ollie Watkins is fit, you see.

Boubacar Kamara was man of the match at Brighton during a three-goal second-half blast. But Emery needs to get minutes into £50million summer signing Amadou Onana.

So, the France international had to be content to sit this one out. It's all bubbling under very nicely at Villa Park.
