Flirty Phil:

Everton captain Phil Neville on Twitter: "Villa Park today, my favourite away ground - let's hope it still is at 4.45pm!"

Reckon R.K will be on the bench but will make an appearance in the 2nd half..

From twitter

“@AVFCOfficial: Villa: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Clark, Petrov, Albrighton, Ireland, Agbonlahor, Bent. #AVFC”

Come on you Villa boys.

Subs: N’Zogbia, Keane, Guzan, Delph, Cuellar, Gardner, Bannan.

Hopefully Gabby is on on the wing and Ireland behind Bent, as opposed to Ireland playing wide left.

Our bench is looking a lot better than it was earlier in the season.

Players love Villa Park as much as we do. There's something so special about that place. How many times do we ehar players from opposing teams say it's their favourite ground?

Come you villa, that bench looks quite strong.

I'm not surprised opposing players like Villa Park this season!

I agree. Ireland is far more effective in the center. It's pointless having him out left.
He can really hurt the opposition floating around behind the main striker.

Yes, I thought the bench looked as strong as I've seen it for a while.  Come on you Villa boys, need the three points today to get on a good run for our next 8 or so winnable games (Man City possibly excluded).

[PaulWinch again]

Albrighton is crediting Mcleish with getting him back onto form, which is good to hear.

[eastie]

Decent side although id prefer carlos in place of hutton at right back.

Pat Murphy the R5 reporter at Villa Park - bad omen, we always seem to lose when he is there and enjoying it a bit too much for my liking...
