Sends three crosses in shutout win Young recorded three crosses (zero accurate) and five tackles in Saturday's 1-0 win over Southampton.

Impact Young and the Villa back line held second clean sheet in last four matches and the team has been improving of late. The defender has only racked up six crosses over his past five starts but has been productive in defensive peripheral stats with 15 tackles and 14 clearances over the same span.

Nets rare goal Young scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Young scored once, his first goal in nearly two years of top-flight play. The full-back doesn't have the offensive upside he once had, though he's created seven chances in his last three matches while making three starts in that time. Young is a valuable play as long as he remains in the starting XI. That said that is likely only as long as Lucas Digne (heel) remains out, which should be a few more weeks at least.

Returning to Villa Young has signed a new one-year contract with Aston Villa, the club announced Monday.

Impact Young tallied two assists and three clean sheets across 24 Premier League appearances (10 starts) for Villa last season, playing all along the left side of the pitch. The 36-year-old has just signed on for another campaign, although his usage is likely to continue going down.

Ends season on bench Young finished this past season with two assists and 44 crosses in 24 league appearances (10 starts).

Impact Young saw a bit of time this season, but most of his starts came prior to Lucas Digne's addition to the squad. Young doesn't figure to have much of a role going forward outside of one from the bench while he serves as Digne's backup at left-back, and there's no guarantee he stays at Villa.

Impact Young was brought in the 14th minute, replacing injured Lucas Digne when his side was already down by one goal. And the veteran made things even worse for his side in the 36th minute, accidentally sending the ball into his own net when trying to clear a cross from the left flank. With Digne questionable for next Saturday's home match against Tottenham, Young will probably have an opportunity to redeem himself.

Back in squad Young (toe) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Young is back in the team Saturday after missing the last couple weeks with a toe injury. While he was getting starts prior to injury, the addition of Philippe Coutinho is likely to cut into Young's playing time, as is the health of everyone else in the side.

Edging closer to return Young (toe) could be an option for Monday's FA Cup match, according to manager Steven Gerrard.

Impact Young is edging closer to being ready and even if he's not available Monday, he should be an option for the Jan. 15 league match. While he's found a decent amount of playing time under Gerrard, that could change once everyone is healthy and some transfers come in.

Unlikely Sunday Young (toe) is unlikely to play Sunday against Brentford, according to manager Steven Gerrard.

Impact Young is unlikely to play Sunday, though he has an "outside chance" according to Gerrard. The winger is a worthwhile fantasy option if starting, with Leon Bailey sidelined.

In doubt Saturday Young is questionable for Saturday's matchup with Burnley with an undisclosed injury after manager Steven Gerrard classified the midfielder as "50/50".

Impact After making just one appearance in the starting XI from September through November, Young has started four of the club's last five outings. In those appearances, Young has generated one assist, seven shots (one on target), nine crosses (three accurate) and three corners. While he is unlikely to take over as the primary corner taker, Young should still see opportunities on freekicks, making him a solid fantasy target.

Records assist in win Young took three shots (one on target) and assisted a goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace. He also made three clearances in the match.

Impact Young set up Matt Targett's opener on Saturday for his second assist in as many games. This was his first Premier League start since August, but he could remain in the lineup for Wednesday's clash against third-placed Manchester City, with the 36-year-old able to provide experience for his side against the defending champions.

Provides assist off bench Young made an assist after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton.

Impact Young was brought in the 74th minute, replacing Emiliano Buendia, and ten minutes later assisted Ollie Watkins for the opening goal of the match. This has been a rough season for the veteran midfielder, who doesn't start since August and was an unused substitute in five of the eight matches prior to this one. He'll hope this effort helps him to keep getting minutes during next Saturday's visit to Crystal Palace.
