[Mister E]

Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar [c], Clark, Baker, Westwood, Delph, N’Zogbia, Bowery, Weimann, Benteke.

Well, he's taken Bennett out of the equation.
But the MF looks very light.
Strange selection upfront unless Gabby is unavailable.

[PaulWinch again]

Bowery starting? odd. Oh well come on Villa we desperately need a win today, step the fuck up.

4-2-4? 4-2-2-2?

Bowery for gabby Clark left back for Bennett with baker in the middle with vlaar

[Jockey Randall]

ballbags. Gabby must be injured then. Oh well, can't really argue with the line up. COME ON BOYS!!!

Bowery for gabby Clark left back for Bennett with baker in the middle with vlaar

I can see Clark getting more yellows today unless someone is covering back to support him. Could have played Bennett in front of him: Bennett can attack down the left quite well and could have covered for CC ...

Need to see if clark or baker start at left back- bowery is a surprise but lets hope it pays off.

No idea why he doesnt give carruthers a chance- a direct wide man who will run at the opposition.

[Uknowthescore]

Just seen that bent is on bench if he's playing 2 up top seems strange he's chose Bowery over bent it's a bit to risky considering the importance of the game

[Mortimer's Bear]

Come on Villa, we need to win this today!

[Mister E]

Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar [c], Clark, Baker, Westwood, Delph, N’Zogbia, Bowery, Weimann, Benteke.

Is this Lambert playing effectively with wingers? - N'Zog and Bowery.
If so, they'd better be ready to do some tracking back otherwise we'll get sliced apart through the middle.
