Stoke have put out a very young team for this game against the champions

Villa’s team is

Marshall; Roome, Bouma, Clark, O’Halloran; Hogg, Bradley, Reo-Coker, Hofbauer; Forrester, Harewood. Subs: Albrighton, Bevan, Weimann, Collins Jnr.

The surprise being Harewood starting the game and Bouma at centre back

Villa took the lead through Hofbauer in the first half after dominating the whole half

Second half started off quieter and the likes of Albrighton and Weimann are on the bench.

Weimann came off the bench to set up Hofbauer for his second as Villa take total command and then straight away Bradley had one disallowed for a foul

Yet another comfortable win for the all conquering reserve side
