Still can't get the last abject performance at Leicester out of my mind.

Different regime and team now but not sure the timing is right for us with this. Leicester have started very well and we are not firing on all cylinders yet. We may struggle again but let's hope there is a better performance. At least our fans shouldn't be fighting each other this time.

I'd like to see us play as if we had a right to win. That's all I ever demand of the Villa.

Tough one today, head says draw, heart says definite win.

Bad memories of Leicester, home and away. Especially the 4-4 draw at VP. Rather immaturely, I was so frustrated afterwards that I punched one of the big metal doors on the way out. The door won and my hand hurt for a week.

Whatever the line-up its nice to feel excited about the prospect of the attacking midfield options we currently have. Whether that translates into a performance is another thing.

I believe that the international break has given us chance to renew optimism and hopefully Leicester momentum has slowed down.

Leicester relied on very late equalisers to draw their last two games. It's a big test but it's possible to get a result - including a win

Could really do with some of these injured guys being ok. Especially Gana I think. But he seems doubtful and even if grealish or adama are fit, you'd have to think they're not going to be that match fit

Waiting for Mr RedSox to pick me up than off to pick up Leeg and Freddy. Nothing could possibly go wrong with Leeg in the car!

I've got a horrible feeling none of them will be starting

definately not 3 at the back for me

amavi could do it down the left but we have no one who could down the right, crespo maybe but havent seen enough of him

I'm not a fan of 352 but it could suit our players. Bacuna would be the right back surely?

But not today. Lescott only just arrived, Clark Amavi and Sanchez only just back from international duty so no real chance to practice the shape.

Funnily enough, Leicester's old fashioned 442 is tailor made on paper to pay 352 against.

I suspect they are all out but we can still put up a decent midfield for this game.

Seriously how can the majority of people think we'll win this, surely being realisitc a point would be a great outcome?
