Norwich just lost 5-4 in the 95th minute, that will kill them. Come on now Villa!

Haven, I am tempted to go out and buy a parrot so I can teach it to screech your post.

Is that team 5 at the back? That's how the Beeb see it with Richards as centre back.

He will right back with Bacuna pushed up to replace Veretout.

5 at the back with two wing backs who are shite and cant cross? I doubt it, well I hope it isn't anyway. Would be a terrible formation.

Very strange decision to drop Veretout and leave both Westwood and Gil in. The right flank of Richards and Bacuna looks a bit conservative but they look as if either Evans or Olsson will be left back.two very average teams maybe Ayew can be the difference

It's 4-4-2. Bacuna at the might of midfield

I thought they might be 5 at the back too then remembered Pulis likes to sting 4 giant centre backs across the back line and turn it into a rugby game

Doesn't Dawson often go to left back and Evans into holding midfield. Anywhere Tony can get  a defender.

I have a feeling that Bacuna is going to score today.
