Fuck, that's nuts. Bring it on!

[eastie]

Surprised baker stays in ahead of Clark but  tonev for El ahmedi is positive , can't play Westwood and kea in same team at home as it's too static - tonev will be interesting .

[PaulWinch again]

Not happy at all with Baker in instead of Clark, Baker isn't good enough. However come on you Villa boys, win please.

[David_Nab]

Very weak looking midfield gona struggle against Barry and McCarthy I think

[VillaAlways]

Was hoping Sylla would start. Oh well

[eastie]

Sylla would have been a better option for me , with tonev replacing Weimann - but lets hope lambert has got it right.

[PaulWinch again]

Baker is the biggest concern, and Tonev needs to have an influence on the game.

[brontebilly]

looks like we are very light in midfield. Delph is going to be doing a lot of running today

Baker ahead of Clark is strange....more physical strength up against Lukaku perhaps

[eastie]

End to end very open game looking at these line ups- goals galore.

I predict us having about 30 odd percent possession again. Not feeling very confident

[danlanza]

Right, off to the pub to watch the game. Have a great match thread. 3-1 Villa. Taraabit. UTV

I think that's the game plan, frankly. Our system is essentially 6-4, with defensive solidity and rapid countering the strategy. It's not a bad one against Martinez, but 'defensive solidity' is always a bad thing to bank on with Villa these days.
