The 27th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season will take place, with newly promoted Leeds United traveling to face Aston Villa. Manager Daniel Falk stated that he hopes the team will be more efficient and decisive in seizing opportunities.

In the last league match, Leeds United came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Chelsea, thanks to goals from Lucas Nmecha and Okafor. Leeds United currently sit 15th in the table with 30 points, and their chances of avoiding relegation look promising.

As for Aston Villa, Emery's team is ranked 3rd in the standings with 50 points, and has achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 rounds.

Leeds United manager Daniel Falk said, "Aston Villa are currently third in the title race, and it will be a tough game. They have also achieved incredible results and are one of the best teams in the league. Emery has built them into a strong team in European competition."

"But at this level of competition, there will always be tough matches, but we are used to facing strong teams and players with a lot of individual ability."

In their first encounter this season, Leeds United scored in the first half through Lucas Nmecha, but were then breached twice by Morgan Rodgers in the second half, ultimately losing 1-2 away to Aston Villa.

Daniel Falk pointed out, "The important thing is not to let them have too much attacking potential, because they have a lot of top players and their tactics are very well executed. We have to give our best, and we also need a bit of luck. We need to be more efficient, decisive, and persistent when we have the chance."

“We have always been confident and have proven that our team has an excellent roster, good fitness and mentality, which has allowed us to score 30 points after 26 games.”

In addition, Daniel Falk added, "We are on the right track, but I am a realistic person and there is no reason to be complacent at the moment. We still need to earn more points, and we must continue to give it our all."
