Against all of my better judgement I am going for a Villa win today...I cannot back it up with anything at all but I just have a feeling!
Come on you Villa Boys!

I'm going to get shot here but how about Traore one side, Ayew the other and errrr Gabby through the middle. Veretout, Gueye and Sanchez midfield 3 and back 4 of Okore, Clark, Richards and Hutton?

Yeah it's Gabby again but i'm completely out of ideas for the centre forward position. Ayew is wasted their, Gestede is a carthorse. Saturday might be one of Gabbys 2 games a season where he turns up.

I doubt it...I think KFC have a Black Friday Weekend Special on...he'll be there.

Fuck me! There it is, our current predicament in, am, yellow and white...

Bit of a misleading stat though considering our top scorer from the past few seasons was just sold. Not saying we shouldn't be doing better because we should be. But Gabby was never going to be that bloke, Kozak has missed two seasons, Weimann was sold and the other two are new.

What I would consider though, is starting with Kozak and getting Guzan out the side. I think it's too soon for Okore I think, and regardless, he's not great. I know Richards is something of a liability but he's one of the very few players with have who has even a modicum of character. I don't rate him as a skipper, but that said, I rate as the best option we have at the club, with the possible exception of Clark.

Apparently he was very close to move to the Shite on loan in the week so clearly not part of Remi's plans.

Although some see him as limited I think the work rate of Sinclair will be important. Ayew as well seems willing along with Gill.

Sanchez to just break everything up. Anyone expecting anything else from him shouldn't. That's the player he is.

Looking for a big game from Veretout. The dropping of Grealish should provoke a reaction - just not sure what that reaction will be.
