Will be my first game at Villa Park for some time so hoping for a good one.
Stoke will be very worried about Gestede as he annihilated them last season.
Seems like their new signings are struggling to settle and they are missing Nzonzi badly in midfield.
Hopefully Grealish can make hay between the lines as a result, if Whelan and Adam play again there will be plenty of space
Their left back Pieters is very slow and ahead of him Arnautovic wont do much tracking back.
Have a feeling there will be plenty of goals in this one - 3-2 to the Villa.
Not sure whether Traore is ready for a start, if not would go for Bacuna for the first 60mins and then bring in Traore
Sinclair needs to get the finger out again too but bar shifting Grealish out there I dont think we have too many options for the left
