Team News
Aston Villa
Stoke
- Predicting Villa's starting XI may be tough given that this will be new manager Tim Sherwood's first game in charge of the club.
- Carles Gil and Gabby Agbonlahor both missed the FA Cup tie with Leicester through injury and while the former should be back in contention having trained this week, Agbonlahor will miss out having had an operation to sort out what he claimed on social media were 'niggling injuries'.
- Ron Vlaar came through the game last weekend without any problems so should be preferred at centre-back, meaning Jores Okore may have to make do with a place on the bench again.
- Mark Hughes is facing something of an injury crisis, particularly at the back, where the likes of Shawcross, Muniesa, Wilson and Pieters could all miss out.
- With Geoff Cameron suspended after his dismissal against Blackburn in the cup Stoke could yet be forced to hand a debut to summer arrival Dionatan Teixeira, though Wilson is perhaps most likely of those struggling with injury to return to partner Philipp Wollscheid.
- Bojan is a long term absentee along with Peter Odemwingie, while Stephen Ireland and Jonathan Walters have also picked up knocks in recent weeks.

I think people are overestimating sherwood, 0-2
With stoke dipping form, they're going be looking to get back on trac. Sheerwood will be looking at imimproving villa upfront, apparently training is getting better and we're hungry for goals. Villa 2-0
