Cash and McGinn (assuming it's him on the right and Sancho on the left) makes that flank feel a lot more solid.

McGinn was on the left on Thursday night, so imagine ot might be the same.  Would prefer to see Rogers on the left tbh as I think he's more effective out there.



It could be McGinn and Onana at the back with Barkley 10 and Rogers left as well. A few options there.

Not convinced with Ross in there, but needs must I guess.

A win would be humongous

I have not fancied us to win a league game since before the Brentford game

However, I fancy us strongly today. It is all set up for us to regnite our season after yesterdays results.

Tielemans being back on the bench is a massive boost. Hopefully we can we win without him and give hin another couple of weeks rest but it is great to have him back.

Come on you Lions.

Results gone our way this weekend. Big European win in the week. Tielemans back on the bench. Our captain match fit and playing well. 0-1 it is.

Interesting line up, I’m very pleased Torres and Ollie playing. What a sight to see Tielemans on the bench.

Come on Villa, would have liked to see Allyson on the bench, brilliant to see Tielemans back, no Elliot, still think he as a game or two we can play him in.

Anyway here we go, with all the results falling nicely into place we need this win.

I do not think it’s awful but not convinced with Barkley and Watkins starting.

Awful line-up.

That’s a pretty pathetic position to take by you before kick off. And we all know why. Sad really.

He's just toiling thanklessly deep in the mines of the attention economy. If you're annoyed, then he's dug up a jewel, a coin of your attention. You can't fight this thing by engaging with it.

Given how we often struggle against teams that go three at the back, this is probably good news.
