Sanson and Nakamba at the ground with their kit

Nakamba fit then. Probably the expected team with Ollie on left.

Bailey and Sanson on the bench.

Sanson on bench which is interesting. Good to see ings back. Im guessing ollie on left and buendia on right.

Bailey dropped

So, a new beginning then.


Not much time for Gerrard to work with the squad. Brighton have had a good start to the season, but haven’t won in 7, and their recent results have been a mixed bag. Decent battling draws with Liverpool and Leicester, but also disappointing draws with Norwich and Newcastle.


I’m going to go for a straightforward 2-0 home win, to get Villa Park bouncing again and Gerard’s reign off to a good start.

Not only did I predict the correct score, I also had a tenner on it at 10-1. That's me about £430 up on Villa bets for the season. In your face Damo!
