Honestly, zaha frightens me. He is a moody petulant twit but he is incredible effective. I can see them trying to isolate Targett against him

Like Sarr atWatford. Targett is going to have to bring the noize.

That said it’s easy to wind Zaha up, so I expect some dark arts to be deployed.

Interesting press conference this morning. I must admit I'm not quite sure what he'll do with the team now.

I think the keeper and back four will be the same, he'll play Ings up top and Watkins left and McGinn will be in midfield - I think those are the definites.

There's a hint it might be Bailey instead of Buendia and that Luiz/Sanson might come in for Nakamba or Ramsey - given the praise for Watkins this morning, I guess there's a chance he could be up top with Ings on the bench, but I can't see that.

I think he'll go:

------------------------------Martinez----------------------------

Cash------------Konsa------------Mings---------Targett

----------------------------------Luiz--------------------------------

-------------------Ramsey----------McGinn------------------

Bailey---------------------------------------------------Watkins

----------------------------------Ings--------------------------------

but I wouldn't be surprised to see Buendia, Nakamba, Sanson or even Young start the game.

At least we can pretty much guarantee how Palace will line up. 433. The game will be won in midfield. If Ramsey does start, he'll need to be very involved. Palace's 3 will be from Milivojevic, Kouyate, McArthur & Gallagher.

Gallagher is the one that worries me...such a livewire.

McArthur is injured and out for a few weeks - there's talk of Will Hughes coming back for them after his injury.

IMHO the team played with a plan and a purpose last week that I havent seen in a long time.SG has had another week with the squad so I expect them to have improved on last weeks performance,im going for 1-2 to us.

I like that Prince George pub, it used to be one of my locals as I lived in Selhurst for two years (and could see the stadium from my house). I saw Villa beat Leicester 2-1on TV there on the 7th of December 2014 thanks to the winner from the Scottish Cafu. And I think that was the only Villa game I saw there so it definitley goes down as one of my lucky Villa pubs. UTV!!!!!!!
