Another match day, another home game and hopefully it will not be ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ for Villa after a fantastic Wednesday night. However it is clear that the team Saturday will not reflect much of the team we saw against Blackburn.

Especially as Carew and NRC who you would have expected to play are both out and niggles for Heskey and Carew we will see a chance for some of the youngsters (at last). With MON saying

“We have one or two younger players around who did wonderfully well for us in pre-season against real top-quality opposition in the Peace Cup. They are desperate for a chance.

“There are other players who have been unlucky not to be in the team and I am quite sure are looking forward to the game.

So what can expect tomorrow for the team, my guess is this team.

Guzan

Young(L) Collins Clark Lowry

Albrighton Sidwell Delph Young (A)

Delfeunso Gabby

It has to be that finally Albrighton gets a well deserved chance, he should have played more anyway and it will be a good test for him. Clark and Lowry should start for experience and Warnock needs a rest but the real unfortunate bit is that Gabby will have to play when he really needs a rest.

Will be an interesting test with 6000 Brighton fans and 33,000 tickets already sold. However we should get into the 5th round draw and another cup run is going to be most welcome.

IT IS OUR YEAR
