Team News
Aston Villa
Southampton
- Off field incidents which have seen two senior coaches suspended will not have taken the fans' attention away from the fact that Villa have suffered 4 consecutive league defeats for the second time this season, and faith in Paul Lambert is wearing thin.
- Leandro Bacuna missed the game against Palace with a hamstring injury but should be in contention, vying for a start at right-back with Matt Lowton.
- Villa fielded three at the back last time out but it nullified their attacking threat so they should revert to their usual system at home.
- Artur Boruc missed out again last week with a back problem but should be fit to replace Paulo Gazzaniga in goal.
- Elsewhere the likes of Clyne and Ward-Prowse will hope to feature after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Cardiff last time out.
- Calum Chambers and Gaston Ramirez may see their places come under threat.
No benteke, no goals for villa
ZZzzzz loads of possesion but as usual we can't score. We look like conceding on the break every time.
the draw
You never know with southampton, They have stopped playing in my opinion
2-0 for Villa
I think Villa might take us to the cleaners on the counter again. Pochettino needs to respect his opponent and not play with suicidal wing backs. There is more than one way to play. Pochettino is generally an arrogant and disrespectful manager with a stupid formation against teams that can counter attack with pace to burn. Definitely an over-rated and one dimensional manager. Let's see if he proves me wrong.
@RelentlessPressure He failed to do so
