Robin Olsen - Six saves in loss Olsen recorded six saves and allowed three goals in Monday's 3-1 defeat versus Liverpool.

Leon Bailey - Creative in loss Bailey generated three shots (one on goal) and five crosses (one accurate) in Monday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Bailey got forward well and created a plethora of dangerous moments but just lacked some end product. The winger remains a strong option, especially as Aston Villa look to thrive under new boss Unai Emery. Bailey has three goals and two assists through 15 appearances (12 starts).

Douglas Luiz - Assists Monday Douglas Luiz assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Monday's 3-1 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Luiz provided a single assist during Monday's loss, his second in as many games. The midfielder has earned a consistent spot in the starting XI and will have plenty of upside as long as he holds onto that playing time. Luiz has a tough trip to Tottenham up next where he will hope to keep the hot form rolling.

Ollie Watkins - Scores in loss Watkins scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Watkins scored the only goal in the loss, finishing a nice move after a quick start to the second half. The forward will hope to build on this form in another tough match away against Tottenham on Sunday. Watkins has scored three times and provided three assists in 15 Premier League appearances.

Emiliano Martinez - Best 'keeper at World Cup Martinez conceded three goals and made two saves during Sunday's World Cup final victory over France after penalties.

Impact Martinez closes out another monster tournament as the best goalkeeper by keeping three clean sheets and making multiple decisive penalty saves. In a winding career that barely saw Martinez play while at Arsenal, he's since moved to Aston Villa and become a true international star for club and country. As Lionel Messi transitions away from the national team, Martinez was able to send him out a winner at the Copa America and World Cup as a truly world-class shot-stopper.
