From AVFC Twitter account:   

Jonathan Hogg starts alongside Barry Bannan in central midfield for Villa against Man Utd. Gabby Agbonlahor returns.

Good grief, well good luck is all I can say.

[sali,salifou]

Gabby and Hogg in for the Fonz and Clark (injured)
The bench of Guzan, Lichaj, Delfouneso, Osbourne, Herd, Lowry, Johnson. is terrifying

[PaulWinch again]

To be honest I've reassessed my stance on this game, I just hope we don't get massacred. Can't believe Clark injured as well. Agreed that bench is terrifying. Well as I said, good luck lads.

[PaulWinch again]

Strong Manure side as well, fucking hell.

[PaulWinch again]

This injury crisis is frankly ridiculous now, what is going on?

[eastie]

I would have gone with Osborne rather than hogg in this one- Osborne has a bit more experience but good luck to hogg!

[Jimbo]

Like I said, pile the lads up on top of each other like bricks in a wall and stick them between the posts. Get them to cross all their fingers and toes and recite a voodoo spell while fondling a rabbit's foot.

12 injured players, that's not an injury crisis that's sabotage.
Who is this French trainer ?

[Toronto Villa]

the kids will have no fear. They'll have energy and go right at Man U. I wonder if this is the youngest Aston Villa team to ever play a PL game?

[maidstonevillain]

I really think it is time to start questioning the training regime.

[Monty]

No Clark. We're doooooooooooomed.

[Dave]

Goodness me.

This is possibly one to watch though the fingers.
