Aston Villa are in Premier League Summer Series action again on Wednesday - at least in local time - as they take on Fulham at the Exploria Stadium in Orlando.
Kicking off at 12am on Thursday in UK time, the Villans will be eager to get their first win of pre-season having drawn 1-1 with Walsall and then 3-3 with Newcastle United.
Their last outing was a thriller in Philadelphia as Emiliano Buendia starred with two goals and one assist. Youngsters Jaden Philogene and Omari Kellyman also impressed.
New signing Pau Torres and Youri Tielemans got their first minutes in claret and blue that night but they’re not the only additions likely to feature against Fulham this time around.
Moussa Diaby has joined up with the senior squad in the United States and will be eager to play following a £50 million transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.
With that in mind, we think Emery will go with a strong lineup to get a good idea of where his squad is at heading into the new campaign. Flick through the pages for a run-through.
