Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Aston Villa - Southampton match

Sky Sports football expert thinks Aston Villa will beat Southampton 2-1 at Villa Park. Pundi has explained his decision.  Nicholas wrote: “If ever Aston Villa needed a boost, it is now. I watched Villa last week and thought they were half-decent. John McGinn has gone quiet, while Jack Grealish is doing well - the midfield is struggling and they are rash in their decision-making in defence.” “Wesley has to be the target man as that is how he wants to work, but he does not actually link up with the play. Because of that you have Jonathan Kodjia, who scored twice in the week, but he does not want to run either. What do you do here? Wesley scored at the death against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup and he is more suited to them. I would still start Kodjia and bring the more energetic and determined Wesley off the bench with 20 minutes to go. He added: “Southampton are too predictable and are relying on Danny Ings too much. Nathan Redmond has the pace and will give them something but not enough, and the wing backs not strong enough. At the back they are a bag of nerves and their goalkeeping situation is a difficult one too. Fraser Forster has been amazing for Celtic, particularly in the Scottish League Cup final, so he will be wondering what is going on as well. Who do you pick?” Aston Villa Place in PL table – 17 Record so far – 4 W 3 D 10 L Previous match – Southampton Place in PL table – 18 Record so far – 4 W 3 D 10 L Previous match – Southampton - West Ham United 0-1
