Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers sends warning to Arsenal ahead of Unai Emery’s return as he tells the Gunners ‘we’ve already beaten you once!’

Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers has sent a warning shot to Arsenal ahead of their Premier League clash at the Emirates.

The Gunners will be hoping for a win to keep their momentum at the top end of the Premier League.

However, Mikel Arteta‘s side could have one eye on their Champions League second leg against Bayern Munich after the first leg ended level.

Speaking to The Mirror ahead of the clash, Aston Villa’s Rogers has sent a waring to Unai Emery‘s former club as the manager is set to return to the Emirates with his new side.

‘We’ve beaten them once, why can’t we beat them again? That’s how we are going to look at it,’ he said.

‘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.’

Rogers continued to label the Gunners as one of the best teams in the world as he set his sights on a win.

He concluded: ‘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.’

The ex-Man City player will be keen to take points from Arsenal and hand a boost to his former side in the Premier League title race.

Having joined Villa from Middlesbrough in the January transfer window, Rogers may go from playing Championship football to the Champions League in just under a year.

Speaking on the hectic schedule of the Premier League, Rogers said: ‘I love them. I’m in this sport to play games and the quicker the better for me – I’m really enjoying them at the moment. 

‘It’s exactly the same in the Championship every week, so it’s no different to what I experienced in the first half of the season. It’s just following on from there really.’
