UNAI Emery has reassured Ollie Watkins that he remains his main man, despite the striker’s lack of goals this season, and is confident he will overcome his poor form.

- By JOHN TOWNLEY

Watkins has scored just once in 15 appearances so far this season, netting the equaliser in Villa's 3-1 win over Fulham back in September.

That strike came just days before Watkins missed a penalty against Bologna, as well as a golden chance to secure all three points at Sunderland previously.

Villa's chance creation has been limited so far this term, posting the second-lowest xG value in the Premier League, but Watkins has also appeared to be playing within himself.
