FYI - When the PL estimate they will release changes to fixtures due to broadcast. Worth noting down if you're planning ahead for specific games.

Morgan Rogers on Villa Reset:

“We kind of drew a line a few weeks ago about what happened before, and we just started fresh with the new players we got from January.

“We’ve got so many players off the bench that can come on and make a difference."

Al Ain FC 1 Villa 3 at half time. One-nil down after Mings gave the ball away on half-way line, Assensio got the first - good finish, then Disasi barged his way into the box to score, and then Taylor, young LB #47, got the third with a smart finish.

📸 Thanks to Gareth Thomas for update.
