Quarter-Finals

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has his sights set on adding another European trophy to his impressive collection as his side prepares for the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final tie against French Ligue 1 club Lille. Villa take a narrow 2-1 lead into the return fixture in France following last week’s gutsy first leg victory at Villa Park. Ollie Watkins’ first-half header and a spectacular long-range strike from John McGinn gave the hosts a commanding 2-0 advantage, only for Bafode Diakite to halve the deficit late on for Lille with an important away goal.

As the excitement builds for the FA Cup quarter-final clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Coventry City, the underdogs from the Championship are well aware of the monumental task that lies ahead. Despite the daunting prospect of facing a Premier League side, Coventry City manager Mark Robins remains optimistic and determined to seize the opportunity to book a coveted spot at Wembley. Robins, who tasted FA Cup glory as a player with Manchester United in 1990, understands the magnitude of the challenge his team faces.
