Well, we're just a few minutes away from kickoff at Villa Park, with Aston Villa hosting West Bromwich Albion in a match that is charitably called a derby. We all know that nothing besides a game against Birmingham City is really a derby, but this match against the Baggies is still important. Which Villa will show up? The Villa that came from behind twice to defeat Manchester City, or the one that rolled over and let Southampton run riot? God, I hope it's the former.
Also, secret agent Liam Ridgewell is injured. Booooooooooooooooooooooooo.
