It’s October and Aston Villa have a new Head Coach. This happens quite often, doesn’t it?

Dean Smith, from Great Barr, takes the reigns at his boyhood club to begin what many Villa fans are hoping will be the start of a revolution at Villa - no longer toxic, but the staleness remains.

That hasn’t stopped Villa riding high on a wave of optimism heading into this match, despite the passing of former Chairman, Sir Doug Ellis. Villa will do their best to remember him with a win against today’s opponents Swansea City.
