Aston Villa fullback Matt Lowton feels the Premier League is getting tougher with every year.
Lowton has forced his way back into the Villa first team this season.
"It's the best league in the world for a reason and it is always hard to do well," he said.
"As the games and the seasons are going on players are getting better. They are stronger, quicker and more athletic.
"There's a lot of work that goes on now to make players more powerful and the players that are coming into the game are showing this.
"It is difficult to play well every week."
