Unai Emery returns to the scene of one of his few managerial failures on Tuesday, aiming to land a huge blow to former club Arsenals ambitions of a first Premier League title for 22 years.
Dismissed by the Gunners in 2019 just over a year after succeeding Arsene Wenger, Emerys second spell in English football has been a very different story.
The Spaniard has awoken a sleeping giant in Villa, transforming the Birmingham-based club from battling relegation to contending for their first league title since 1981.
