Aston Villa travel to Nottingham Forest and there is one change they should make to help secure yet another three points, with Leon Bailey deserving of a start.
It is safe to say that Aston Villa have had a great start to the season and currently find themselves sitting fifth in the Premier League.
With a win, Unai Emery’s side could leapfrog Arsenal and find a position in the top four as they look for a Champions League spot.
Last time out the Villains were able to get yet another three points as they defeated a poor Luton Town side 3-1.
At half time the Villa boss made a change and many fans would like to see that from the off at the City Ground.
Why Leon Bailey should start over Nicolo Zaniolo
Since signing on loan from Galatasaray, the Italian has had some good performances which have endeared him to the fans.
With that being said, a first goal continues to elude the attacker despite his best efforts.
It did come as a surprise to see him taken off against the Hatters, but given the form of Leon Bailey, it is less shocking.
In Europe, against AZ Alkmaar, Bailey was superb and was even described by his manager as ‘fantastic‘ afterwards.
This season, the Jamaican has finally found his feet in Claret and Blue which has seen many fans clamour for him to start.
He has been direct, speedy and productive. So far this season he has averaged a goal involvement every 53 minutes in the league.
His combination with Moussa Diaby has been superb and was all topped off by his wonderful goal against West Ham.
The form he has been showing over recent weeks is exactly why he needs to be starting more often.
An away game against a tough opposition to break down could be exactly where Bailey will continue to shine.
