Davis should start, but he won’t.

Agreed, or at least bring h8m on earlier if Wesley is struggling

Come on Villa boys, let's win this! We need to finish games as strongly as we generally appear to be starting them. We've been competitive away from home, Palace being the poorer of our games, but I expect us to be competitive today. Starting with the extra midfielder at the expence of a winger is the way forward. I suspect that may be Luiz today, though Conor loves playing Norwich and when he's out of the team, no-one has stepped up to be the dead ball specialist that we need (against a shaky Norwich defence, that could be crucial). 3 points ahead of the international break would be great and would set us up nicely for our next home game. UTV!

Has anyone a link to a proper video of the players entering the pitch, with the music, flags, fireworks etc. Trying to impress my 3 year old so he nags mum to let him come with me. Cheers x

The right side of insightful effervescence from vill I an, (weren't he in the Black Eyed Peas?), got me pumped for the game now. Cheers our kid.

I'd go with this too. What's the point of wingers when we don't have a Dion Dublin type forward up front. Give Jack, SJM and Conor license to roam in and around Wesley, and I think we could be much more fruitful.

And based on recent showings, if Wesley is his usual lacklustre self, hook him at HT. Hopefully, he'll start rewarding the faith the gaffer has in him - Starting today!

BBC are saying that, due to a goalkeeping crisis Norwich are going to have to play their third choice keeper, Michael McGovern. He joined them in 2016-17 season, making 20 appearances, then hasn't played for them again until last weekend, when he came on as sub. So we've gotta put him under a lot of pressure.

He had an amazing game against Germany in Euro 2016.

One of his last games for Norwich before last weekend was playing at VP in 2-0 defeat in April 2017. Kodj was amazing in that period, scored twice that day.

Not saying I'm superstitious but can anybody other than Toronto start the Match thread?
That boy is jinxed.
