ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 30 April 2022
A first win in six sees Villa finally reach 40 points, but doubts remain.
Villa do enough to beat Dean Smith on his first return to Villa Park
The long overdue arrival of Emiliano Buendía as a late sub sees a strong cameo performance as Ings and Watkins reach 15 goals between them for the campaign.
Ollie Watkins scores his 25th goal in a Villa shirt on his 71st appearance (67 Starts) to make it W29 D10 L32, 25 Goals, 5 Assists, 10 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Tim Iroegbunam, 19, makes his first start in a Villa shirt after two substitute and 18 squad appearances to make it W2 D1 L0 and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.

TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Steven Gerrard’s shakes things up after no win in six and the visit of Villa legend Dean Smith.
Douglas Luiz and Ezri Konsa are dropped with Tim Iroegbunam coming in for his first start for the club. Calum Chambers also returns having been unlucky to miss out on recent games.
Lucas Digne - who had been written off for the season - makes a surprise comeback for Ashley Young despite the veteran having had his best game in a Villa shirt since his return last time out.
How long Digne will last is another question given he has had to retire early in three of his last four appearances.
