Villa

Aston Villa vs. Everton

Saturday, January 14th

Aston Villa: 5-8-7, 23, -4, 13th, L-W-D-L-L

 Toffees

Coming to you live from Villa Park (ok, ok, I'm personally coming to you live from a hotel room in Den Haag, but you get what I mean) it's Aston Villa v Everton -- the match that will decide...nothing. Nothing, save for perhaps which team might actually start climbing up the table, with the two clubs separated by just a point. For a more in-depth preview, see the work of Aaron.

Lineups after the jump (hint -- no surprises here).

Star-divide

Aston Villa Starting XI (do you really need a formation?): Shay Given, Alan Hutton, Richard Dunne, James Collins, Stephen Warnock, Ciaran Clark, Stiliyan Petrov, Marc Albrighton, Stephen Ireland, Gabby Agbonlahor, Darren Bent.

Aston Villa Bench: Charles N'Zogbia, Robbie Keane, Brad Guzan, Fabian Delph, Carlos Cuellar, Gary Gardner, Barry Bannan.

It is a tribute to Villa’s superb Academy and a source of pride within the Club that we have produced such players as Ciaran, Chris, Marc and Barry and I believe there will be more to come.

Here's how unlucky Torres is

He does an absolutely brilliant strike but hits the bar and it hits off Lampard (who knows nothing about it) and it goes in
