Aston Villa boss Dean Smith admits they need points tomorrow night against Arsenal.
Smith will be hoping his side can bounce back from consecutive Premier League defeats when they face Arsenal on Friday.
The Gunners are a place and a point better off in the table after going five games unbeaten, while Smith recently celebrated his third year in charge of Villa.
"It's a different Arsenal team [this season], so it will be a different game," Smith said. "We are in a different moment so how we approach the game will be different as well.
"There has been a progression for the football club. We have had unbelievable backing from the owners, sporting director and chief executive."
Smith also said: “Matty Cash is back training now, so he's fine.
“Leon Bailey has been back training for the last couple of days, so he's fine as well, as is Bertrand Traore. Keinan Davis is also back, so we're starting to get a fully fit squad."
