Unai Emery has shared an update on the fitness of Ollie Watkins ahead of Aston Villa’s Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday. And the Villa manager has also suggested that Axel Disasi could make his debut for the club following his deadline day loan move from Chelsea.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has spoken in his latest press conference as he prepares to take on Ipswich Town this weekend.

While Aston Villa's top-four charge in the Premier League has ground to a halt, knockout football has provided the Lions with a safe haven, as they followed up progression to the last 16 of the Champions League with a warranted FA Cup success over injury-hit Tottenham.

Aston Villa have lost just one of their last 14 top-flight meetings with Ipswich (10 wins, three draws), a 1-0 home defeat in March 1994.

Mings sustained a knee injury in Villa’s draw with West Ham in January while Watkins suffered a groin issue against Wolves two weeks ago.

Aston Villa will welcome back Ollie Watkins for their Premier League clash with Ipswich on Saturday. Unai Emery’s side responded well to their defeat to Wolves last time out in the League, as Villa beat Tottenham 2-1 to knock Spurs out of the FA Cup.
