Charlie, it's been a positive few weeks for Aston Villa,
00:03
obviously starting off their Europa Conference League campaign,
00:07
you know, with absolute thrashing away at Hibs.
00:09
They have to hold on to that now, but they can probably rotate and save legs
00:13
for their incredibly tough trip to Anfield on Sunday.
00:17
I think that will definitely be the case. If it was a slightly easier fixture in the Premier League on Sunday,
00:22
then maybe they would have been a bit stronger and given a bit more respect.
00:25
But at this point, Unai Emery's done his duty with respecting Hibernian.
00:29
He did that in the away leg at Edinburgh last week.
00:32
The field is a very strong team and they won 5-0 for that reason.
00:35
There was such a disparity in class between the two teams.
00:38
Now's an opportunity to play some youngsters and some players that might not usually get that game time,
00:43
or to just try and build some partnerships.
00:45
I've been doing my Predix 11 this morning,
00:47
and I do think the likes of Carlos and Paulo Torres will start to give that partnership a bit more of a run out.
00:53
The likes of, you know, Callum Chambers, Seb Revan,
00:56
maybe even Namaari Kellyman, John Duran, Selimans, Dendonka, Bertrand Trieroret,
01:01
all these kind of players that have been on the edge of the starting line-up,
01:04
but not quite making it into it. I think they'll probably get some game time.
01:07
So an exciting opportunity for them.
01:09
I think John McGinn just has to start a second successive reunion with his former side at Villa Park under the lights.
01:15
I think that's quite a romantic reunion.
01:17
But other than that, as you say, lots of rotation to be had,
01:20
because the game away at Liverpool is going to be incredibly tough.
01:24
We've seen this season they've started as they're meaning to go on. A win away at Newcastle United,
01:29
very dramatic despite having 10 men.
01:31
It seems as if they're not playing their best,
01:34
but they're back to that position of getting those results even when they're not playing at their best.
01:38
Just at Anfield, you expect that to be even more the case.
01:41
So very tricky test for Villa, and I think it will show exactly where they are at the moment.
