Sounds like Ramsey is a doubt so I'd go Nakamba-Luiz-McGinn in midfield. Or Sanson in for McGinn if Gerard wants to experiment and give him one last chance to make an impact

A 43 mile drive for me: it's overcast and cool.
When we did beat them on NYD 2020, we played really well and they never really looked like beating us. Today, as others have said, it'll be whether we are mentally up for it or on the beach.
Best wishes to you bring us luck

Nice in theory but practicality Vs Burnley away and after his previous attitude I think Sanson is done. That's disappointing as he has footballing ability but hasn't settled in at all really.
If Villa sign Boubacar Kamara then he knows him to play alongside many that could be the hope

unless Chambers is playing defensive midfield?

Not sure - will be interesting to see how it lines up

Imagine thinking playing  an extra centre half against a shit team like Burnley is a better idea than playing Coutinho and Buendia together for once.

Literally the only thing I liked about Gerrard when we appointed him was that he never plays five at the sodding back.

I'm reading that lineup as Chambers at dm. Hadn't even considered 5 at the back. Shocking if that's what it is.

Maybe, has he ever played there? And is he better than Iroegbunam or Nakamba?

Maybe the plan is to wait until we are 2-Nil down then bring on Phil...

I'm not surprised. He's a pragmatic. Boring looks to grind out 1-0 wins.
Also practicing for Liverpool and having backs to wall defending. Gosh wish season was over.
Back to the 3-5-2 is it?
This guy Gerrard ain't fooling me!

Yeah, for Fulham.
