- 10' The 31-year-old Morgan Sanson has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

- 51' Bertrand Traore needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ollie Watkins made 344 appearances and scored 138 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 62' The whistle greets Steven Alzate as he departs to be replaced by Adam Lallana.
- 66' A change in the Aston Villa FC ranks — Bertrand Traore exits the field as Trezeguet enters on 66.
