  "account": "Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has urged his team to capitalize on their upcoming Champions League match against Fenerbahce by improving their home form at Villa Park. The Birmingham club's performance at their home ground has been crucial to their rise in the Premier League table, but they have yet to secure a victory at Villa Park this season. Two defeats and a draw from their last three home games highlight the need for improvement. One contributing factor may be the reduced support at Villa Park, as the North Stand is out of action for refurbishment while the ground undergoes renovations. Emery emphasized the importance of regaining confidence and feeling comfortable in their home environment. He stressed that Villa Park is special and should be regarded as a fortress, akin to the four years they have enjoyed there. Emery highlighted the need to make progress in the upcoming match against Fenerbahce, which could serve as a stepping stone towards winning more matches and regaining their winning ways.",
  "summary": "Aston Villa’s poor home form, with two defeats and a draw in three games, may be linked to reduced attendances as Villa Park undergoes refurbishment.",
