Team News
Aston Villa
Southampton
- Darren Bent is likely to rejoin the casualty list after picking up a knock shortly after coming on against Bradford in midweek.
- Ashley Westwood is back in contention and news that captain Ron Vlaar has returned to training will be a boost, with Lambert likely to take a slight risk in playing the Dutchman after their woeful defensive record of late.
- The likes of Holman and Ireland will hope to return to the midfield after the huge upset on Tuesday, though Karim El Ahmadi is away on international duty at the African Cup of Nations.
- With captain Adam Lallana still out, his understudy Jose Fonte is now a doubt with a knee problem.
- Elsewhere Clyne and Ramirez are both carrying knocks but should be fit enough to make the trip to Villa Park.
- Jay Rodriguez could keep his place in the side after netting the opener against Chelsea, while Hooiveld will need to replace Fonte if the Portuguese cannot recover from injury.
has to be Southampton
Villa must avoid defeat in this game otherwise I think they will really crumble. Sad times
Aston villa are just useless, it think 2-0 southampton.
