Delph must be injured. Fucking fantastic

Fairly  happy with that side , Lowton back in and bacuna and sylla in midfield it seems - would have preferred tonev rather than kea but that aside its a decent selection.

[Matt Collins]

That team looks like one of two things to me. Either bacuna pushed right of a fwd three, baker at left back. Or 532 with Lowton at left wing back, which I think might look a bit odd.

It doesn't look like it has many goals in it other than benteke / Weimann.

Let's hope Lowton is somewhere close to the excellence at the back end of last season

@MatKendrick: Fabian Delph missing through illness, I believe #avfc

4-4-2  ?

[Matt Collins]

I've just realised. What's happened to Delph? Bollocks!

[Monty]

4-4-2  ?

It may well be a midfield diamond, you know. He's played it before.

Midfield looks very average indeed to me, without Delph. Very average.

Not expecting a great game here to be honest. We could do with the  athleticism we're missing.

Please don't spoil my Saturday again villa.

Nice to see sylla get a start - interesting see how Lowton does on his return with bacuna further forward .

[Matt Collins]

I'd assume 433 with bacuna on the wing. There's no left sided midfielder so I can't see it being 442. If we're going to get a win here I think it'll have to be a scrap, and possibly 1-0. Can't see too much creative quality in that side.

Yes, 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.
