Aston Villa host Luton Town on Sunday with the Hatters looking to be the first team in 12 matches to take points off Unai Emery's team at Villa Park.

Emery believes the Villans' 11-game home winning streak only serves to add extra motivation for visiting teams.

"I think it's increasing the challenge for the opponent because they are coming here thinking it's difficult to win," he said in his press conference on Friday.

"It is a great challenge coming here trying to break it."

Despite the record the hosts have going into Sunday's match, Luton manager Rob Edwards is positive in his ambitions for the trip to Birmingham.

"We always believe we can get something from any game," he said.

"We believe we have a good plan.

"They are a team on on the up, with a brilliant manager. It's not scary. If I was scared I'm in the wrong business.

"Its a tough game, we will have to be better than we were against Forest. We are in the mix, we are comfortable where we are at, we are competing well.

"We have taken five points from the last five games, as long as we are in the mix we will be ok."
