Guess we should start one! Traore in - come on Villa.

I hope Barkley is fully fit. Great to see Traore starting.

Let's see what Traore can properly do ... hope we don't miss Trez Bremner's energy.

Think Cash could be in for a busy afternoon if we don't get a proper grip in midfield.

Surprised to see Engels on the bench. Didn’t realise he was that close to fitness

He was also on on it for the DL game, I think.

Newsflash: he was sub for the last two matches!

Just been told he was on the bench for Leeds. Oops

[Axl Rose]

Nice to see Redmond and Long on the bench! And hopefully, they stay there.

Come on Villa! Good luck Traore! Do us proud!

Walcott one of those world beaters when he plays against us.  You know the ones we’ve had over the years.  See David White.

Dirty Leeds and Dirty Leicester.
