Emiliano Martinez makes new Aston Villa demand after admitting cup frustrations Emi Martinez has targeted glory with Aston Villa, saying: “I want an FA Cup run.”.
However, Villa have not won the FA Cup since 1957 and it is 29 years since Andy Townsend lifted the League Cup.
Martinez may be rested against West Ham as Villa have seven games in 22 days and has both professional and personal reasons for wanting the club to progress.
The season so far has been good - not like I want it to be - but we knew that playing in the Champions League and competing in the top four would be tough.
I want a cup run and I was very frustrated to be knocked out by Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.
