Aston Villa vs Stoke City Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

If it isn't 4-4-2 then he'll have one upfront and look to flood the spaces either side of Benteke as we attack.

Definitely 4-4-2, and a long-ball game initially.

Good start boys

There's 4 former Villains against us today in Bardsley, Ireland, Sidwell and Crouchy.

It's the Villa I fondly remember too. Wingers and a centre forward. Nothing wrong with that.
