Summary

Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins is enduring his most challenging season since his arrival, marked by a dip in both finishing ability and dynamic movement. His goal tally per 90 minutes has decreased significantly compared to previous seasons. Watkins' top speed has also shown a steady decline over the past few seasons.
Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope is under scrutiny following a series of errors, having made more mistakes leading to goals than any other player in the Premier League this season. This marks a concerning trend for the typically reliable shot-stopper.
In contrast, Everton's James Garner has been a revelation, proving to be the team's best player. His dominant midfield performances, characterized by intense defensive work and quality in possession, have been crucial for his side.
