1-0 Benteke

Interesting selection. Westwood must have a niggle or run out of legs, as he and Bannan together have been a bright spot. The midfield looks very, very lightweight, but I am pleased Lowton looks like he is dropping into the back 2/3. Interesting to see if Herd plays in the back 3 or shielding a back 4.

8-0 Villa

Sorry to see Westwood left out , nice to see Weimann back in .

[Shrek]

My guess for formation is:
--------------Guzan
Lichaj-Lowton-Herd-Clark-Bennett
------Ireland-Bannan-Holman
--------Benteke-Weiman

[Toronto Villa]

Need a big game from Ireland today. When's he's on song we just look so much more fluent.

Can only think Westwood's done in. Started every game of last 10-12 and for his first run in the prem, he has covered a lot of ground lately. Resting him I can understand, I think Bannan was rested against Spurs to give us one or the other in these games. Bannan's hollywoods are more likely to catch Wigan out than Spurs too. I hope it is a bit more 4-2-3-1 though, with Herd playing holding than at the back.

[JUAN PABLO]

wasn't expecting Weimann to play .   thats a bonus at least

[PaulWinch again]

Westwood out I'm gutted about, but guess he's tired. However Weimann back is great news. Come on you Villa boys.

Never gonna happen.

Important we don't lose. It is a six pointer but a draw wouldn't be a complete disaster. They need the three points more than we do. I always thought 19 points after this game would have us on course to stay up. I still think we will have a better second half of the season and could get another 20+ points.

Come on Villa!!
