Training images ahead of Villans' trip to Liverpool

Matty Cash has been voted Aston Villa Player of the Month for October 2025. The right-back enjoyed an impressive October, featuring in all five of Villa’s outings in all competitions and helping Unai Emery’s side post a 100 per-cent record across their three games in the Premier League. Cash claimed the prize having been selected by the Villa supporters, taking over half of the voting. October started positively for Cash and the Villans, as the Polish international helped Emery’s men record a clean sheet in the UEFA Europa League with a 2-0 win over Feyenoord, Cash completing 86 minutes in Rotterdam. Three days later, he put up 90 minutes at Villa Park as the Villans stretched their winning run to four matches in all competitions with a 2-1 triumph over Burnley in the Premier League. That weekend, when visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, saw Cash stand out and claim both the Villa and Sky Sports Player of the Match awards as his side came from behind to beat Spurs 2-1. For Emi Buendía’s winner, the defender hit an exquisite half-volleyed pass in the direction of Lucas Digne who picked it out of the air perfectly and fed the Argentine, who finished from the edge of the area to earn a nomination for the Guinness Premier League Goal of the Month Award. Cash played the final 24 minutes in Holland that midweek as Villa fell to a first defeat of their Europa League campaign to Go Ahead Eagles, having an attacking impact and winning a penalty which would ultimately be missed by Buendía as his side fell 2-1. But that weekend Villa bounced back in style, with Cash the hero as his sweet, left-footed strike whistled past Gianluigi Donnarumma and in from the edge of the area after 19 minutes to seal an impressive 1-0 win over Manchester City. Cash was again voted Villa’s Player of the Match at Villa Park, before penning a new contract until 2029 with the club the following day, and being shortlisted for the Premier League’s EA SPORTS Player of the Month Award later that week. Villa's top three players in our October poll were: Matty Cash 52% Emi Buendía 24% John McGinn 7% Thank you to everyone who voted and congratulations, Cashy!

FixturesLiverpool Vs. Aston Villa - Sat, Nov 1st 2025, 20:00 Matty Cash has reflected on a “good week” during which he netted the winning goal in Aston Villa’s victory over Manchester City and signed a new contract. The Villa right-back’s sweet, left-footed strike made it four Premier League wins on the spin at Villa Park over the weekend, before he committed his future to the Villans a day later. Cash discussed his delight at penning a new deal until 2029, and is hoping to continue progressing over the coming years. He said: “It’s been a good week – obviously delighted with how it’s gone, especially signing a new contract and a big win against City, so a good week so far.” Describing his time as a Villan up to this point, Cash added: “It’s been great. I love it here. “I’ve been here a little while now. I said in my interview the other day that it feels like it’s gone really quick, to be honest. “But I’m delighted to have committed my future to the club and hopefully many more years I can stay here and have more good times here. “I’ve enjoyed every step, had a lot of ups and downs, (but) more highs though, to be honest – especially the last three or four years we’ve done really well, progressed in Europe and had a lot of good experiences together. “Playing at Villa Park is great, the fans are really good, so hopefully many more years.” Villa look to stretch their winning run in the Premier League when visiting Anfield to take on Liverpool on Saturday evening. Cash – who was nominated for October’s Premier League Guinness Player of the Month award on Thursday – admits the game will be a difficult one irrespective of the two sides’ form. The Poland international added: “We go away to Liverpool on the weekend, which is probably even harder (than recent games). “I know the results haven’t been great for them, but the quality they’ve got in the team (is high), and obviously going to Anfield is always a really tough game. “Hopefully we can keep the form we’re in and go five in a row and add to it.” Watch Cash's full, extended interview with VillaTV by clicking below. 

Habib Beye’s job is on the line but simply sacking another manager is not the route to success for the Pinault family By Get French Football News “It’s been a bit of a crazy week,” said Rennes manager Habib Beye after his team’s 2-2 draw with Toulouse on Wednesday night. After a run of five games without a win, the former Newcastle and Aston Villa player did not know if he would be in charge for the game – his sacking was even hastily announced in some places – but he was in the dugout in Toulouse and is still holding on. “The momentum at the club isn’t good and finances are relatively fragile, which puts pressure on us,” said the club’s president, Arnaud Pouille, after the game before announcing that the manager would stay. “We met with the staff on Monday to ask them whether they still had the energy to keep going, and they proved it tonight.” Continue reading...

Aston Villa boss praises support from all corners of the club

Matty Cash has been named in the EA Sports FC 26 Team of the Week 7 – following an impressive display in Aston Villa’s 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday. The right-back, who signed a new contract at the club the day after the game, was the match-winner for Unai Emery’s men at Villa Park, netting in the 19th minute. Emi Buendía’s pass from a short corner was met on the edge of the area by the Polish international, who took a touch inside and smashed into the bottom corner with his weaker left foot. A solid defensive display also saw Cash contribute to Villa’s clean sheet on home soil, as they defeated Pep Guardiola’s side to stretch their winning run in the Premier League to four matches. The EA Sports FC Team of the Week is chosen based on players who have stood out in performances for their club in matches throughout the preceding week. The seventh instalment in FC 26 since the game’s release, this team of the week is now live with Cash’s ‘in-form’ item available in the game. Congratulations, Cashy!
