Manager Unai Emery says any talk of the title "does not make sense" for Aston Villa despite their historic form. The Spaniard has overseen a club-record equalling 11 straight wins in all competitions - eight in the Premier League, where Villa sit third. He said: "To speak about the title does not make sense for us. We are motivated and excited but for the moment we are motivated for the match we play tomorrow. "The next challenge is very difficult, the most difficult challenge we can face now because it's the best team."
