Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers has issued a strong message to Arsenal as they prepare to face off in their upcoming Premier League match at the Emirates today (Sunday, 14 April). The team managed by Unai Emery has been performing exceptionally well in the league this season, with their sights set on securing a place in the prestigious UEFA Champions League for the first time in more than forty years. Aston Villa currently holds the fourth position in the league standings, just edging out Tottenham Hotspur by goal difference.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have been on fire in the league this calendar year, dominating every match in 2024 except their goalless draw against Manchester City (31 March). The north Londoners suffered a 1-0 defeat in their initial encounter with Emery’s team back in December, courtesy of John McGinn’s early goal. Rogers is confident that Villa can repeat this triumph in tonight’s rematch.
He confidently stated to The Mirror, “We’ve beаten them once, why can’t we beаt them again? That’s how we are going to look at it. We’re going to go there and try and win the game as we do for every game. Of course it’s going to be difficult.” “They are one of the best teams in England, if not the world, so we know it’s going to be difficult but we’ll go there, try to win the game, and see how it goes.”
