Paul Lambert has chosen to favor a more possession-oriented starting XI, even though his side are desperate for at least two goals against League Two Bradford City. Will it work?
Well...here's a lineup. It doesn't seem to be inspiring much confidence amongst Villa supporters. Personally, I'd have started Andi and Bent alongside Gabby and Benteke and screwed any "holding midfield." Why not just throw out everything you've got?
And so help me Paul Lambert if we're not winning and you use like for like subs ... I will die and then come back to haunt you for the rest of your born days.
