In the second round of the Premier League, Aston Villa will host Arsenal. Villa manager Emery gave a pre-match interview to preview the contest against his former club.

Emery said: "We are at the beginning of the season and facing certain challenges. We accept everything that has happened in the past, but we are prepared and full of anticipation today. We have experienced players, and goalkeeper Martínez and striker Jackson are key figures. We hope they perform at their best. This match is an opportunity, and three points are crucial."

"Playing at Villa Park, we feel very good. The players feel supported, comfortable, and energized. Today, Martínez and Jackson must also feel comfortable, receive support from teammates and fans, and truly get into the game."

"Next comes their personalities and football abilities. We must strive to build a good tactical structure, whether with or without the ball, whether attacking or defending. We respect them, but we also face the challenge directly. This is today's test, and I look forward to this match very much."

"This is a new chapter. We respect Arsenal, and we know how difficult this match will be. We are analyzing our opponents, and we are also analyzing ourselves, discussing how to cooperate better tactically and strategically, both offensively and defensively. The most important thing is to show our true strength to the fans."
