SportsTranscript
00:00Good afternoon from Bodymoor Heath, well it's Everton up next for Aston Villa away at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
00:10Very probably the last time Villa will ever play at Goodison, obviously Everton moving to Bramley Moor docks at the end of the season in their new stadium.
00:20And they're hoping that they won't be in the new stadium in the Championship and that's one of the big reasons that they have hired David Moyes for a second time.
00:27It's going to be Moyes' first game back in charge of Everton for the first time since 2013 when of course he left to join Manchester United.
00:34And that is going to be obviously the big storyline from a national point of view tomorrow night.
00:40For Villa, well they won't have a new player on board for the game but he may well be signed in time, perhaps not in time to play.
00:49Daniel Marlon, Bill Emery has confirmed that a deal for Marlon is close.
00:53Obviously it's one that Villa have been talking with Borussia Dortmund about for a couple of weeks.
00:57Now Marlon's deal will also see Jadon Filigyne depart to Ipswich as was expected.
01:04Unai Emery essentially said today that Villa could sign another two or three players on top of that.
01:10We've been told there will be at least a minimum of two signings.
01:13They want an attacking player and a right-sided defender.
01:16The most likely right-sided defender at this time is Oskar Mingheza from Celta Vigo.
01:23But Unai Emery pretty much spelling out today that incomings will be dependent on departures as well.
01:29It's pretty much a one-in, one-out situation at Villa.
01:33Because of there, obviously they need to comply with profit and sustainability.
01:37So if Mingheza or another defender comes in, we'll likely see somebody leave.
01:43Someone is likely to be Diego Carlos.
01:45Though move to Fenerbahce in Turkey is thought to be less likely now than it was 24 hours ago.
01:53However, the Turkish club not his only suitors.
01:57So we'll see what happens there.
01:58In terms of team news for Villa, well the big news is John Duran is back for the first time since Boxing Day when he was sent off.
02:05Villa's top scorer, obviously in all competitions.
02:10And a big boost for Unai Emery heading into a big six days.
