Villa vs West Brom – When the weakest can be the strongest
West Brom are bottom of the league, by rights that should mean they are the easiest team to beat. Vill are fourth in the league, so there are just 3 teams able to beat them and they will thrash the bottom team. Right?
Wrong.
This is football and one of the great joys of football is it’s unpredictability. Villa are the home team and unquestionably the better team in this morning’s match, but does that mean we’ll win? No, in fact if the players go into the match with that kind of attitude then we’ll probably lose. Cockiness doesn’t have a place in football (who said ‘Ronaldo’ then?), it can be your undoing. Villa need to take West Brom as a serious threat if we are to stand a chance of diffusing that threat.
It’s bloody complicated stuff, this football lark isn’t it?!

Villa vs Baggies preview & all the transfer rumours are being laughed at
Tomorrow at 12.45 GMT (3.45 PST), Villa Park welcomes our local rivals, West Brom, to hopefully get shown a trick or two by a top four side. The game promises to be an exciting one, with us chasing a top four finish and West Brom fighting for survival, so both teams will be eager to start the year as they mean to go on.
Former Villan, the legend Paul McGrath, believes we have a side capable of turning them over with a convincing win. We go into the game as heavy favourites, sitting in fourth place whereas Baggies are the ’strongest’ team in the league, holding the rest up.
Curtis Davies and Luke Moore will both hope to start against their old clubs and they’d both love to see their name on the scoresheet too. Scott Carson will also be returning to the ground he called home for a year and will be out to keep a clean sheet.
