Jadon Sancho
The Manchester United winger has seen much more game time at Aston Villa since Christmas.
At the start of the season, he was largely restricted to Europa League appearances, but he has started to gain much more experience in the league over the last five or six weeks.
Sancho started and played 77 minutes of Aston Villa’s 0-1 home defeat to Brentford.
The 25-year-old completed two key passes and one of his two cross attempts.
He also completed 84% of his passes and had one shot on goal, which was blocked by Brentford’s resolute defence.
Sancho also made two of his three dribble attempts and had seven progressive carries in the match as the Villans searched for an equalising goal.
He also won 100% of his aerial duels and two out of three ground contests in an all-round positive display for Unai Emery’s side.
Sancho and Aston Villa will next be in action in a tough-looking away trip to AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.

Blundell could only win two out of her five ground duels, though.
She did contribute on the ball as well, completing one key pass and finding her target with one cross into the box.
The United full-back also completed her only dribble attempt and made 79% of her passes on the afternoon.
Everton and Blundell will next be in action when the Toffees travel to face London City Lionesses on Sunday afternoon.
