Ayew will play up front I think, Bacuna pushes up to wing and De Last at right back. Draw at the very least. 1-1.

Agree with it being bacuna pushing up, with Jedinak in the middle ahead of Gardner and Ayew up front, but 2-0 Villa for me

I just really hope Kozak doesn't play

I think Kozak needs to be given a chance

I suspect we will go with:

Gollini

Cissokho, Chester, Elphick, De Laet

Grealish, Jedinak, Westwood, Bacuna

Ayew & McCormack
I think that is the most likely selection with Amavi coming on late.

He's obviously a decent finisher who's clever at being in the right place at the right time I wonder if he'll ever properly recover from those injuries.

I don't think Kozak has recovered fully but I suspect it is a mental thing.  His break was a very bad one but then to have to have it surgically rebroken and reset must have taken a toll on him.  He plays like his heart is not in the game.  Not good to see in a player.

We're developing nicely, but really need a win today.

Kozak looked plenty good enough before the injuries.

Personally though I'd bring Green in and play either McCormack or Ayew upfront.

Think it has to be ayew. Don't think McCormack can play no 9

But I'd play bacuna midfield, especially away from home. Grealish and green either side of a four man midfield is too exposed for me at the moment

Maybe once Jedinak and Tshibola get their feet under the table properly they can provide enough cover

I think he can play upfront and certainly has goals in him, but not as a traditional number 9.

I'd keep the 4231 formation and bring Grealish central if we push McCormack further forward.

We've dominated the last two games for long periods but only got 2 points to show for it, time to get points on the board now.
