Dean will get a great reception from our fans but I'm sure will respond pretty much the same way that Gerrard did at Anfield.

Norwich were good against Man Utd and were unlucky to lose.

This will be a tricky game. 1-1.

Sorry Dean, it will be tough and good luck in your other fixtures (we all need luck when playing the sl6 as 'Penalty Saturday' proved) but, anything less than a Villa win will be disappointing.

I hope he gets a good reception, but also that we batter them 6-0.

I'd not mind a repeat of the corresponding week nine years ago, midweek win 4-1 there and follow that up with a 3-1 win at the weekend. And from that point for it to stop resembling xmas 2012 altogether.

I hope he gets a great reception, and I'm sure he will. A narrow victory for us would be the tasteful outcome.

Can't wait for Deano's pre-match presser. Dish the dirt  ;)

They played well against Manchester United at the weekend, so don't think this will be an easy game by any means.

They have improved under Dean, don't play like a relegation side. If our players turn up we will win beacause we have the better players, this is the type of game where Gerrards influence should kick in.

We should win this one - 3-1

Smith will be given an excellent reception by the travelling Villa faithful
