Player to watch: Morgan Rogers
Morgan Rogers was the hero for Aston Villa last weekend, as his two goals at Elland Road saw the Villains come back from 1-0 down to pick up another three points. Performances like that are only going to strengthen his case to be a starter for England at the World Cup in the summer.
