This will be the 133rd league meeting between the two clubs. We have won 65 and drawn 17 of these games. The Owls have won the FA Cup 3 times, have been League champions 4 times and have won the League Cup once. 

This game will see us welcoming Barry Bannan and Josh Onomah back to Villa Park. Like Tuesday's visitors we also had the same manager in the same calendar year as Sheffield Wednesday with Big Ron moving from Hillsborough to Villa Park in 1991.

We need a win to build up some momentum and confidence. A second home win and clean sheet within a week would be very welcome. It won't be easy with Wednesday sitting just 2 points behind us. We need to make amends for our home defeat against them 11 months ago. Their heaviest ever defeat was 10-0 at Villa Park in October 1912. A repeat of that win would do nicely! :)

didn't realise Onomah is at Wednesday. Any idea how he has been going??

3rd game for jed in a week ? That didn't go too well last season when he played that amount of games in a short space of time.

Adomah is in because he offers more cover down the sides and grealish and him can swap over 

 

Expect after 65 mins bolasie on for Albert or Kodja

Not convinced that playing Jack on the left is a permanent solution. El Ghazi, while he didn’t have a great game on Tuesday playing on the right, looked more comfortable on the left in his opening couple of games. 

Otherwise, yeah ok with the team. I think.

not going to be a popular post but Jack doesn't suit our method of play (enter the 'we have a stlye' jibes).   Often slows the play down and lets the opposition get men behind the ball, particularly how often he gets fouled. He'd suit a team like Arsenal where they break teams down with their short passing and movement off the ball
