Leeds United rivals Aston Villa unveil Unai Emery as new boss amid rising Jesse Marsch pressure

Aston Villa have appointed Unai Emery as the club's new head coach following Steven Gerrard's departure last week. The Villains are three points above Leeds United following their win over Brentford at the weekend.

The Whites on the other hand slipped into the relegation zone following defeat to Fulham at Elland Road. Pressure is beginning to mount on Jesse Marsch with no wins in their last eight games.
