Aston Villa have not only failed to win a Premier League game this season, but they’re also the only team yet to score a single goal.
Under pressure Unai Emery has got off to a miserable start in the new 2025-26 season.
Aston Villa are winless in their first four matches, managing just two draws against Newcastle United and Everton.
And worryingly, one of their most effective players last season has yet to make an impact this term.
Morgan Rogers has been disappointing so far this season.
Rogers, who has been forced to hit back at critics, has failed to produce his best, leaving Villa 19th in the table.

The England international’s ability to affect play in the final third has been a particular area of concern for Emery and his coaching staff.

So far this season, Rogers has failed to find a teammate 35.5 per cent of the time, with almost half of his balls into the box missing their intended target.
It’s no surprise Aston Villa’s No.
27 is yet to register a single assist in the Premier League, forcing those around him to feed off scraps.
Last season saw Rogers involved in 30 goals in 56 games, in all competitions, including reaching double figures in the Premier League.
Out of the 37 league games he featured in last season, Emery started him 17 times in the No.
Aston Villa signed Jadon Sancho on loan in the summer in the hope of adding more squad depth, especially in wide areas.
Sancho has yet to make a league appearance for the Villains, though, but with Rogers failing to fill the void on the left, Emery may not have a choice but to throw the struggling Manchester United loanee in against Sunderland (21 September).
