No Gabby - Holt starting. The team tweet got Bertrand in twice
Guzan, Bertrand, Vlaar, Clark, Baker, Bertrand, Westwood, Delph, Weimann, The Beast and Holt

Subs Steer KEA, Sylla, Helenius, Albrighton, Tonev, Lowton
So i dont know who other Bertrand should be

[Matt Collins]

Hmm. 532 with holt up front. Not going to be pretty today is it? Not convinced its a good idea to play wing backs and let their attacking full backs get two on one v our wing backs. Maybe we're backing ourselves to deal with crosses into the box

[Keeno]

Why oh why 5 across the back!?!?! We looked awful at the end of the Albion game like that and it's today against these lot we're asking for them camp in our half. There'll be no pressing today then, everyone back...

Bacuna?

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Grant Holt is starting for Aston Villa.

[Toronto Villa]

that is a very attacking line up. Looks like 3-4-3 almost, or 3-4-2-1

I know bertrand looks good but not sure he is good enough to play two positions at the same time.

Worried about midfield ... a very attacking line up for an away game.
