VILLA: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Luna, El Ahmadi, Westwood, Delph, Agbonlahor, Weimann. Benteke

Subs: Steer, Bennett, Okore, Bacuna, Helenius, Sylla, Tonev.

That strikes me as our strongest 18. Am I missing someone who anyone thinks PL would rather have in there?

I'd say right now it is our strongest 18. Hopefully we may have someone else coming in or better still someone like Gardner challenging.

Come on Villa!

Also, both Sky and BBC covering the Arsenal game. Rubbish!

Agreed. Add Grealish and Donacien and you're away.

Although I suppose you could say that right now Bent and Given are probably better than Steer and Helenius. I'm not fussed about them not being the squad mind.

Baker, Albrighton, Herd, Gardner, N'Zogbia are still potentially to come in and get a chance at some stage.

I'd say Baker is the only one better though, and even that will vary depending on opinions on the four CB.

All I ask for Villa is the same spirited, battling, ( bullying ) performance we gave Saturday.

COME ON VILLLLA!

I'm listening on WM. They wankers are currently replaying all 8 goals from last season. Wankers.

Which has the least worst coverage for this - TalkSport, BBC WM or AVTV ? Annoying that 5 Live have gone for the Arsenal game and don't even have ours on their extra digital channel.

If Guzan's kept a clean sheet at half time I'll be happy. But from what I can recall of both tonkings at Chelsea, it was second halves that were the problem.

As crap as WM is I still prefer it to listening to Captain Jack or TalkShite.

I'm listening to Stan and friends on TS, a bit out of the area for WM!
