Returns to starting XI Buendia had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate), and one corner in Monday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Buendia made just his third start and created two chances back in the starting XI. Leon Bailey seems to be the preferred option for the most part but with offensive struggles for Villa of late it's possible that Buendia's creative spark could see him garner some more playing time. Buendia has created nine chances in his nine appearances despite largely being held out of the starting XI.

Gets 45 minutes against Cherries Buendia played 45 minutes off the bench, creating one chance and drawing two fouls in Saturday's opening loss against Bournemouth.

Impact Buendia had a minor knock entering the match, but he was healthy enough to go 45 minutes and could start Saturday against Everton. Similar to last season, his starts could be random and hard to project, as Steven Gerrard now has the players to rotate weekly, assuming everyone is healthy.

Ready for opener Buendia has trained all week and is ready for Saturday's opener at Bournemouth.

Impact Buendia missed last week's friendly with a minor issue, but he's good to go Saturday. That being the case, there's still a belief around the team that Leon Bailey will open the season in the starting XI. He started 22 matches last season, but if Bailey can stay healthy in addition to Philippe Coutinho in the squad for a full season, Buendia may struggle for consistent starts.

Impact Buendia had a bigger role earlier in the season and then the addition of Philippe Coutinho took away a lot of his minutes. He still finished with a solid four goals and six assists from 44 shots and 48 chances created, but given the talent up front, he may see even less time in the squad under Steven Gerrard.
