Aston Villa boss warns his players to 'focus on playing' ahead of the Premier League return - AVillaFan. com - Aston Villa Fan Site

Aston Villa boss has warned his players to focus on playing on the pitch rather than losing control as Premier League returns this weekend. Aston Villa are back in action this weekend.

They are playing host to Brentford and aim for their third fourth victory this season, which would be the second win in the Premier League and the first at home! Villa have not picked up a single three point yet this season.

Some fans believe it was due to the bad timing as the first home game was against the reigning champions, Arsenal. Some others also think that they had misfortune, especially in the second home game versus Nottingham Forest.

Ian Maatsen had to be subbed off due to his injury, but Emery could not replace him because the Spanish boss had used all slots for substitutions. This time, they cannot fail again as they have been in positive trend with two consecutive wins before the international break plus two victories in the friendly matches.

However, there is one thing which still concerns Emery, the disciplinary issue. He underlined such to the press as reported by Daily Mail.

"We must control our emotions, individually. We must reduce red cards but also some yellow cards are not necessary.

'Aaron Wan-Bissaka's yellow card at Coventry (for squaring up to Gustavo Hamer) was not normal. He and Jackson are experienced players and they must control it.

'We've spoken about it in the dressing room. We need to focus on playing.

' Lack of discipline this season? Aston Villa seem to have had disciplinary issues this season."
