Herd starts? interesting. Come on you Villa boys.

Herd in centre mid possibly? a 4-2-3-1 with Gabby and Nzogbia wide, Bannan in behind Bent.  Hopefully anyway.

[TheSandman]

I quite like that team. Hopefully, his place means that N'Zog has impressed in training.

I take it Delph is injured rather than completely dropped.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I sense the influence of Kevin MacDonald with the selection of Herd. Hopefully KMac's influence will see us passing the ball too.

[TonyD]

Interesting selection.   No Heskey THANK FUCK.

Come on me babbies!!!

Any streams chaps?

[eastie]

any streams available as villastreams seems to have done away with the paypal option.

[Dante Lavelli]

That team has potentially got a good balance to it as it can work as a 4231, 433 or as a 442 with Gabby drifting wide to the side of the other side of the pitch compared to Nzogbia.

HUGE game for Herd though as there is no obvious replacement on the bench.

Only stream I can find

[brontebilly]

huge game for nzogbia this.

both teams going with two up front but neither team has a midfielder capable of getting hold of the ball. id expect a lot of ball hit direct to the frontmen by both teams.

good luck to chris herd in midfield. definitely mobile and combative enough anyway

[Dave]

neither team has a midfielder capable of getting hold of the ball.

Mulumbu is one of their best players and he is more or less in the team to do nothing but the above.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Herd's definately the type of player you want in a local derby. He certainly knows how to mix it up. Just hope he doesn't go over the top and get himself sent off.

The commentator on Setanta is a complete tool. That is all.
