Podcast: Champions League excitement vs Ticketing row, Villa Park future and Everton Preview

A look ahead to Villa's huge Champions League clash with Marseille, the latest on the row between Villa and the FA over ticket prices and the future of Villa Park, plus the latest on Everton's search for a new manager.

Champions League excitement

Aston Villa are back in Champions League action this week as they take on Marseille at Villa Park. It's a huge game for Villa, who will be looking to make a statement in the competition after a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign.

Marseille are a tough opponent, but Villa will be confident of getting a result at home. They have a strong squad and have shown in the past that they can compete with the best teams in Europe.

The game is sure to be a sell-out, and the atmosphere at Villa Park is expected to be electric. Villa fans will be hoping that their team can put on a show and give them something to cheer about.

Ticketing row

Aston Villa are embroiled in a row with the Football Association (FA) over ticket prices. The FA has ordered Villa to reduce the price of tickets for their Champions League match against Marseille.

Villa have refused to do so, arguing that they need to charge the prices they do in order to cover the costs of the match. The FA has threatened to take action against Villa if they do not comply.

The row has angered Villa fans, who believe that the FA is trying to bully the club. They have called on the FA to drop the charges and allow Villa to charge the prices they want.

Villa Park future

The future of Villa Park is uncertain. The club's lease on the stadium expires in 2022, and there is no guarantee that it will be renewed.

Villa are keen to stay at Villa Park, but they are also aware that they may need to move to a new stadium if they want to compete with the top clubs in England.

The club is currently in talks with Birmingham City Council about the future of Villa Park. The council is keen to keep Villa in the city, but it is not yet clear whether a deal can be reached.

Everton Preview

Everton are still searching for a new manager after the sacking of Marco Silva. The club has been linked with a number of potential candidates, but no appointment has yet been made.

Everton are in desperate need of a new manager to turn their season around. The club is currently 18th in the Premier League, and they are in danger of being relegated.

The new manager will need to be able to get the best out of a talented squad. Everton have some good players, but they have not been able to perform consistently this season.
