Assessing Villa's Christmas & January Transfer Latest

The Athletic's Gregg Evans joins Dan Bardell to reflect on Villa's performances over Christmas. Have they shown that they can compete with anyone?

They also discuss the recent criticism of Tyrone Mings' performances; and Dan claims Villa are playing the best football in the Premier League.

And ahead of Friday's FA Cup tie with Liverpool, they debate whether Dean Smith should be resting players and prioritising the Premier League.
