Leandro Bacuna is back in the Villa team. The Dutchman, who can play at full-back or in midfield, missed the defeat to Crystal Palace with a hamstring strain but is back in contention to face the Saints. Otherwise, Paul Lambert is choosing from the same squad with Christian Benteke, Libor Kozak, Charles N'Zogbia, Jores Okore, Nicklas Helenius and Gary Gardner all long-term absentees.

The 1971-72 Villa side were signing memorabilia at the club shop today. That side won the old Third Division. Ominous.
