Man United flying high after 2-1 win against Crystal Palace. Arsenal hosts Chelsea

Manchester United climbs up to third in the Premier League with a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace

3 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Morgan Rogers - Four shots in loss Rogers recorded four shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Rogers got the nod up front and looked to spark Villa in a scrappy, rain-soaked battle, but Wolves' compact block kept him from finding many clean looks in dangerous areas. That said, he still let four shots fly (two on target), marking the sixth time this season he's hit that volume, yet his recent dip in form continued as he's now gone four straight appearances across all competitions without a goal or an assist.

Emiliano Martinez - Beaten twice against Wolves Martinez made no saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-0 loss versus Wolverhampton.

Impact Martinez was picked apart around the hour mark when Joao Gomes ripped a shot in off the underside of the crossbar, a finish that left him with no real shot to keep it out. He could only watch late as Wolves broke in transition and substitute Rodrigo Gomes buried the counter in stoppage time to put the game away. Villa dominated possession for long stretches but gave him little support to swing the momentum back, and with just two clean sheets in his last 15 appearances across all competitions, he will be desperate to flip that ugly run on Wednesday against Chelsea.

Andres Garcia - Suffers new hamstring injury Garcia picked up a hamstring problem during Tuesday's training session and is set to undergo further tests to determine the severity of the issue, Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic re...

Impact Garcia had just bounced back from a similar injury that kept him out for one month, but he played only three minutes in an EPL match against Leeds before sustaining another blow. This could potentially sideline the full-back ahead of the final stretch of the season, with Matty Cash retaining the starting spot and Lamare Bogarde getting some opportunities as a backup option.

'We're not too far from Arsenal' - Tammy Abraham insists Aston Villa can catch Gunners and win Premier League title

Douglas Luiz - Inefficient in service Douglas Luiz had nine crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

Impact Only two of the defender's nine crosses were considered accurate, though part of that could be due to the sheer volume Aston Villa needed to try to get an equalizer. Luiz has a more favorable matchup coming up against a Wolves team with a -32 goal differential, so he should be able to move forward again and be involved in the attack.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Leon Bailey - Strong service Bailey recorded one shot (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Though Bailey didn't get an assist for his efforts, he helped give Aston Villa's attack some potency. If he replicates this effort against a Wolves side that has given up 50 goals in EPL play, he's likely to get an assist or goal.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Tammy Abraham - Nets equalizer off bench Abraham scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Abraham only played 15 minutes but delivered the most important moment of the match for Aston Villa to get a point from the encounter. The attacker may have earned more playing time against Wolves, a side which has conceded 50 goals in 27 EPL games.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Emiliano Martinez - Recovers after conceding goal Martinez made three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Martinez gave up a goal in the first half but had a stellar effort outside of that lapse to keep Aston Villa in the match. He should have an easier time dealing with Wolves, a team which has produced just 18 goals in 27 league games.

Andres Garcia - Back on bench Garcia (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Garcia returns to the squad and is named on the bench for Saturday's clash against Leeds United after being sidelined for the last three-plus weeks with a hamstring injury. Even so, he remains a depth option in defense and is unlikely to command a regular starting role.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Matty Cash - Makes starting XI Cash (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Cash makes the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Leeds United after missing Villa's last two matches due to injury. The defender returns directly to the lineup and replaces Lamare Bogarde at right-back. His inclusion restores a regular presence in defense after his brief absence.

Impact Elliott has been a depth piece for Villa and hasn't seen many minutes at the Premier League level, so his absence won't have a big impact from a fantasy perspective. He could return to face Wolverhampton on Friday, Feb. 27, but even if he's cleared to return, he's not expected to see many minutes.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Andres Garcia - Expected to return Saturday Garcia (hamstring) is expected to be an option for Saturday's game against Leeds United, manager Unai Emery revealed during Friday's press conference.

Impact Garcia was not mentioned among the injury absentees for this contest, so he's expected to return after being sidelined for the last three-plus weeks with a hamstring injury. Garcia is a depth option on defense and isn't expected to start regularly even if healthy, so he's not likely to have a big impact from a fantasy perspective.
