Aston Villa boss Unai Emery insists he isn't surprised by his side sitting in third place with 12 Premier League matches to play this term

Ollie Watkins hasn't been at his usual best, finding the net eight times in 25 league outings, while Tammy Abraham has scored once in four matches since returning to Villa Park, with his only goal coming in the 3-1 FA Cup defeat against Newcastle United.

Emery has constructed a side with genuine top-four credentials. Morgan Rogers is the standout creative force with eight goals and five assists in the league, Ollie Watkins leads the line with the relentless energy that has made him one of the Premier League's most dangerous forwards, the list goes on.
