"Aston Villa come into this huge derby match with a good run of home form. They have won three out of their last four home games and are yet to be beaten. Birmingham are in a bit of trouble, they have only won one game in twelve, and they have not won in four games.

As with all derbies, this wil be a tough encountrer, but for me, Villa should just edge this one. Defensively, they are very strong and only concede 0.5 goals per home game. I do not believe that in this country there was any particular significance as to which of the inside forwards would have dropped into midfield. It may have depended on a particular player's abilities. A left-footed inside forward may have been either more defensive or attack minded, and dropped back or not as the case may be.

However once 4-4-2 become established, it may have been that in South America, the Inside forward dropping back into midfield joning the naturally defensive half back was always given the number 8 shirt, making him the more creative of the central midfield pairing.

Other formations have since become fashionable (5-3-2; 4-5-1 etc) and a player who is said to play in the "hole" has gained prominence. got what we deserved today.nothing.plenty of injuries but squad has been threadbare for four years now and our manager and our board has not addressed this.on a personal note and its just my opinion but david weir is finished and has been for sometime.great player and a credit to our club and a few more like him wouldnt go astray but if i was young hughes id be at moyes door monday morning telling him i want out in january.fair enough if he isnt good enough but if he cant get in ahead of weir i feel for his sake hed be better off elsewhere to give himself a chance of a career.we need six players in the club in january and there is no chance of this.be lucky to get two plaers in.we need a right full,centre half,two wide men a creative midfielder and a striker and then if anyone leaves they have to be replaced too.was a game we went out to hang on for 90mins imo and a wonder goal scored and our recent playing style meant we were beaten when that goal goes in.moyes says we were rubbish and fair play for stating that but he buys the players and picks the teams.on a small note good to see van der meyde get another 80 mins under his belt.roll on the handy chelsea game then away reading and we get into the bottom half

It may be that Tevez was refering to this, when explaining that he is perhaps not an out and out forwardThey have only conceded one goal in their last four, and have scored seven. Birmingham were thumped 3-0 by Arsenal in their last away trip, and they have conceded six goals in their last two trips away from St Andrews. Midfielder Jesper Gronkjaer is also on his way out of the club with a move to Athletico. I'm on Villa @ 5/6 with Skybet [£10 Free Bet] Villa average nearly two goals every home game, while Birmingham have an awful scoring record away from home - only averaging less than a goal a game, and I dont think that Birmingham have the firepower at the moment to compete with a resurgent Villa side."
