Aston Villa vs Southampton

Nearly two weeks removed from a remarkable 1-1 draw against Manchester City, can Steven Gerrard's Villans maintain momentum as they welcome Southampton to ...

A 1-0 victory to the Villa. The other option, given the influx of Leander Dendoncker to the squad, would be to play a 4-2-3-1. Gerrard’s presumed lineup will be a 4-3-2-1, with the same backline and keeper. In midfield, a defensive partnership of Dendoncker and Boubacar Kamara, with John McGinn or Jacob Ramsey in the number 10 position would be interesting. Over the last three matches, Southampton have lost 1-0 at Wolves, 2-1 at home over Chelsea, and a 1-0 loss at home to [Manchester United](https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com).

Buoyed by that goal, Villa almost had a second before half-time, and after Bailey fired just wide, substitute Douglas Luiz was up to his usual trick, seeing his in-swinging corner tipped over the bar by Bazunu. From that point on – bar a 70th-minute applause to recognise the Queen’s 70-year reign – it was back to business for both sides. Then came the opening goal, by all accounts a scrappy one indicative of the error-strewn 40 minutes that had preceded it.

Aston Villa edged past Southampton 1-0 at Villa Park thanks to Jacob Ramsey's goal as Steven Gerrard breathed a huge sigh of relief.
