After Saturday’s feast of action, we’ve just a paltry single encounter to pour over today. However, it’s a feisty Black Country derby between Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion. The Dugout Discussion is open, and the team news from Villa Park is in, and is as follows…

Aston Villa XI: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

West Brom XI: Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Popov, Mulumbu, Yacob, Gera, Morrison, Brunt, Long.

Darren Bent is the surprise omission from Paul Lambert’s side, with the England striker relegated to the bench. Albion’s Macedonian defender Goran Popov gets his first league start, and Chris Brunt and Shane Long are back in the side after missing the midweek Capital One Cup tie.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to follow all the drama, and it can be accessed right here.

        Baps awarded on Sunday night along with Sunday's games.

        Few games on Saturday (6- I think)

        Its to do with processing of EA PPI ratings

    So Gerard is 9.4 and Sahin is 6.7. Sahin has scored 3 goals and got 2 assist (cup then league) in his last two games, and seems to have a knack for appearing in the box to slot home simple chances. Where's the downside?

      the defence is fine really as well clyne is fine as is the others just check how long it is still cueller is fit but the other 4 or fine. like you said keeper has to changed. wc not needed imo wait until the 2 week break then it will be fun as well messing around for the international weekend

    Thoughts on this potential WC team?

    Jussi - Bego
    Ivanovic Baines Mertesacker (Clyne Nelson)
    Fellaini Duff Sterling Nolan Lallana
    RVP Augero Suarez

    Is it too heavy on the strikers?

    We've kicked off at Villa Park. It's Aston Villa 0-0 West Bromwich Albion. #AVLWBA

    No way, so they didn't score off the kick-off 😯

    I was very unusre of getting Suarez but seeing as liverpool have had 5 tough matches out of 6 .

    Im starting to think he may be a good replacement for Tevez.

    Nailed on starter and involved in most of their goals

    Good idea or bad ????
