Unai Emery has revealed why he left Harvey Elliott out of his squad for Aston Villa's brilliant win over Manchester City on Sunday - as the Liverpool midfielder continues to struggle for minutes during his loan spell.
Elliott has not started a game for Villa in almost a month and did not make it off the substitutes' bench for Emery in any of their last three matches.
His last appearance came in a Europa League cameo on October 2, when he came off the bench in the 86th minute against Feyenoord with his side already 2-0 up.
