Aston Villa will travel to Crystal Palace for their next Premier League match, and England defender Konsa said that manager Unai Emery has brought a calmer mindset to the team, allowing the players to remain positive when facing challenges.

In the last round, Aston Villa defeated Nottingham Forest 3-1 thanks to goals from Watkins and McGinn. Aston Villa currently sits in 3rd place in the standings with 42 points, having won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches.

As for Crystal Palace, Glasna's team lost 0-2 to Newcastle in the last round and are currently 14th in the standings with 27 points. In head-to-head records, Aston Villa have only managed one draw and four losses in their last five encounters with Crystal Palace, including a 0-3 home defeat this season.

Aston Villa defender Konsa said in an interview, "I wouldn't say it's a good time to play Crystal Palace right now. In the Premier League, teams can go through a slump, but things can change at any time. We all know how tough the Premier League is, and against a team like Crystal Palace, the game is never easy, especially away from home."

"For us, we will focus on our game plan and enter tomorrow's game with the awareness that our opponents have a strong lineup. What they did to us at the beginning of the season is something we want to do back to them, and hopefully tomorrow will be our day. We must be solid enough defensively, keep our formation correct, and focus on executing and implementing our game plan."

Speaking about the comeback performance, Konsa said, "This is something we, as players, must work on. During my time here, it was hard to imagine us winning a game if we conceded the first goal. But now, the coach has brought a calmer mindset, allowing us to stay positive even when we are behind."

"As a defender, of course you don't want to concede the first goal, it's not ideal. But on the field, everyone was calm and not panicked, and showed team cohesion."

Konsa added, "Even when we're trailing at halftime, everyone stays positive. We know we have a very good team and players who can decide games, and I think that's been proven all along this season."
