HE’S IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN

SINCE Philippe Coutinho returned to the Premier League, only Bruno Fernandes has more goals and assists combined.

PS The Brazilian has both scored and assisted in three of his last six home PL appearances (for Liverpool v Swansea in 2017, Villa v Leeds in February and against Southampton yesterday).

Coutinho leads the way in many key attacking areas among his Aston Villa team-mates following his arrival on loan.
