Key Players to Watch: Aston Villa vs Manchester United

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa): Despite starting the season slowly the English midfielder has really picked up his form, he's currently the clubs top scorer this season with five goals and coming off of a brace against West Ham with him scoring an absolute screamer to win them the game

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): Slightly boring I know but you can't not speak about him with his current form, he's been by far their best player and is in a purple patch right now, scoring three times in his last four and assisting four times in his last four, he's truly been unplayable
