Is Sanson doesn't get a start here, he may as well hand in a transfer request, surely.

All those fresh and exciting line ups are missing one thing

JOHN MCGINN plays in every game

Young in his place as 'Club Captain'.

I would rather him than Meatball who is really starting to grind at the moment with him ineptitude

I'm actually going to this. My first non-Wembley away since the MacDonald Southampton shambles of late 2015. Blimey, now I see that written down, it surely can't be right!

Taking my son for his first away game, so he should see a cavalier Villa side put these to the sword. A sprinkling of youth and reserves supplementing enough first teamers that sees us scoring at least 4, and all shall be well in the Villa world for a few days at least.

On the downside, it seems the pub we used to go to there, at the bottom of the industrial estate as it reverts to countryside, is no more. Shame, that.

I'm at my first non Wembley away since the debacle at Fulham in early 2018, which was my son's first game full stop. Fortunately it didn't put him off and my daughter is doing her first away game tomorrow. And then the AFC Wimbledon next week in the Pepperoni Pizza Trophy.

Gerrard: "There won't be wholesale changes and there won't be, 'Oh it's the League Cup, let's make all kinds of changes'. We'll be strong.”

"There won't be wholesale changes...”

I was quite looking forward to a cup run as well.

I really shouldn’t laugh at this.

Are Guilbert and Sanson still at the club? If so, play them.

He's got something against Sanson, I expect lardarse McGinn to start as usual.
