TEAM NEWS
Villa already without first teamers Emiliano Buendía, Tyrone Mings, Boubacar Kamara, Jacob Ramsey, Matty Cash, John McGinn and Ollie Watkins lose Emiliano Martínez just before kick off through illness. Robin Olsen is called up as emergency ‘keeper leaving Villa with eight subs.
Hardly the ideal position to be in when facing Abu Dhabi at the Emptihad full of refereeing favours but pragmatism prevails. Fellow first teamers Álex Moreno, Pau Torres and Leon Bailey are rested by Unai Emery. In sum then, Villa take the field at the Emptihad with a team that is unrecognisable in its construct.
Without meaning any disrespect to the players selected, Emery clearly has bigger fish to fry than playing the Harlem Globetrotters of Abu Dhabi.
