Europa League: Emery Eyes Spark For Villa, Forest Marks Emotional Comeback

By IANS News September 23, 2025 • 15:28 PM View: 445

UEFA Conference League: Unai Emery will hope a return to the Europa League this week serves as the spark plug that ignites Aston Villa’s season, while Nottingham Forest embark on their first European campaign in three decades.

Emery is the most successful manager in Europa League history, having lifted the trophy three times with Sevilla and once with Villarreal, and also guiding Arsenal to the 2019 final.

Yet, his current side has struggled to get going domestically. Villa remain winless in their first five Premier League games and had failed to score before Sunday’s 1-1 draw at 10-man Sunderland.
