[Mister E]

Where's Archer?

[Deano's Mullet]

I thought Dendoncker might have started. Hopefully Coutinho will repeat his performance against them last season.

[Ger Regan]

Reverting to type, then.

Come on Villa, from the off I want to see us right up for this one and looking lively with purpose. I really don't want to see myself on that Gerrard out thread again.

[Nev]

It does look a bit "same old". Hopefully the performance won't be.

[Kimaster1976]

Do you think we have enough centre midfield options from the bench though, I can only see 4?

[eamonn]

Morgan lives! And he's got a million other central midfielders on the bench to compete with. Gerrard...what a wazzock.

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

Dendoncker starting might have been a bit defensive at home to Soton. Would have liked Luiz in for McGinn or JJ, and interesting to see how Bailey & Watkins get on.

4.5 with Chambers

Where's Archer?

He had an injury concern before the last game didn’t he?

[Jane]

Hmmmmm.

[Beard82]

Come in villa

Thought Luiz should have kept his place

Time to do your business or get of the potty Steven
