Agree with your starting XI. Wonder if Marsch will. Ayling over Rasmus would be my call. But I think Rasmus will get the nod. Sinisterra the other question given his late international involvement.
Some interesting calls on the bench. If all are fit, then Drameh and Hjelde miss out. JM said Forshaw is injured, so that leaves a spot for Greenwood, Shows considerable depth given Perkins and Gyabi obviously cam expecting to contend for a 1st team place too.

The bench situation is actually more interesting than the first XI, which really picks itself. As you say, no Forshaw means Greenwood gets a chance, but with no CDM cover, there's even chances Gyabi gets it, though playing tonight I see. With Perkins smashing them in still, he is also getting hard to ignore but I think he may have to wait a little longer, again partly because he is playing this evening.

Didn’t realise we had such a terrible home record v Villa. W1 D4 L5 last 10 games I think.
Time to put that right.
It is, we need a win to get back on track and get some distance from the bottom.
8 games until WC break, 4 of which ,any points accrued will be a bonus.
The other 4 - home games v Villa (today), Fulham & Bournemouth and away to Leicester we must look to get AT LEAST 7 points from or we'll be going into christmas in bottom 4/5. Bearing in mind our first 2 games back will be City and away to Newcastle makes todays game massive ,especially confidence wise going forward.
Blimey ,I've just made myself really nervous about today.
I won’t be watching this afternoon (tennis club tournament) but hopefully will be able to keep in touch with what’s happening. A win would be good to make the most of our games in hand.

Rodrigo over Paddy is the main takeaway
I think it is fair.
Rod was finding the net and Bamford can come when needed.

Just assuming Ian.
Phil said he is there doing fitness work so can't be that bad.
But isn't in the squad so must have a knock of some sort.
Thanks.
Covid hasnt went away either so who knows
