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 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.

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.

Aston Villa will have Ollie Watkins and Tyrone Mings available when they host Ipswich on Saturday. Both missed last Sunday’s FA Cup fourth round victory over Tottenham at Villa Park and hand Unai Emery a big boost, but the Villans are stil without five other key players.

Two relegation rivals will face off when Leicester City Women welcome Aston Villa Women to the King Power Stadium for Sunday's Women's Super League contest. The Foxes are languishing in 11th place in the WSL table, while the Villans are one point better off in 10th position.
