Surprised to see Barkley instead of Onana.

Jimoh-Aloba? Anyone know anything about him?

Played reasonably well in the Youth Euros and the EFL trophy. Can play any position across the attack as well. Probably raw for throwing on so I assume he is just there for matchday experience rather then playing at any point. (Unless we are 5-0 up).

Come on Villa let's bury them and their annoying fans with  "your city is blue" crap. Let's not gift them presents as Xmas is done. 2-1 Villa.

We need a good win today. I know we would all take a scrape by 3 points but we need something that boosts our overall morale. We just haven’t been convincing for the majority of the season. Always a stupid goal conceded and silly mental errors that cost us at various times of the games at both ends. A solid confidence boosting home win please Villa.

Why not Onana alongside Kamara?

If we can't trust Barkley at home to Leicester and Harry Winks then he's not worth having in the squad. He should be fine today.

I thought he played great against Man City.  Nobody played well at Newcastle and then he looked a little off the pace when he came on against Brighton.  Strange.
I reckon he’s being eased slowly back in to it. He was suffering for a little while before it was confirmed he was actually going to be out for a little while.

I hate playing against teams in black. Can’t even explain why.
