How MacPhee is making the difference for Villa

Of the Aston Villa matchday squad selected for the first game of the 2021-22 Premier League season, only eight players still remain at the club. Of the Aston Villa coaching staff which started the same campaign, just one member remains: set-piece specialist Austin MacPhee. Originally appointed to work under Dean Smith, the Scot’s services have been retained by both Steven Gerrard and current head coach Unai Emery.
