Ross Barkley
32-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
Scores in loss
Barkley scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Manchester United.
ANALYSIS
Barkley got onto the score sheet for the first time in EPL play since November but it didn't matter much in Aston Villa's 3-1 loss. The midfielder will try to parlay that into another goal in the second leg of the Round of 16 UEL game against Lille, a side which has conceded 33 goals in 26 Ligue 1 games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Championship
Sheffield United are keen on signing Barkley, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Barkley has struggled to play regularly at Aston Villa this season, and it wouldn't be surprising if the talented playmaker decides to leave the club in January looking for a more consistent role elsewhere. Barkley will aim to relaunch his career away from Villa Park, which might be the best course of action for him at this point.
