ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 23 August 2022
Villa win at League One Bolton but Gerrard's post match words do little to hide the fact that his is a squad riven with strife.
Ollie Watkins makes his 80th appearance in a Villa shirt (75 Starts) since joining the club in September 2020 to make it W32 D12 L36, 28 Goals, 8 Assists, 11 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Tyrone Mings makes his 130th start in a Villa shirt (131 Appearances) since joining in January 2018 to make it W52 D24 L55, 7 Goals, 7 Assists, 30 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
Lucas Digne scores his first goal for Villa on his 20th appearance to make it W7 D4 L9, 1 Goal, 4 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Calum Chambers makes his 10th start in a Villa shirt (13 Appearances) to make it W6 D3 L4, 1 Goal and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Steven Gerrard names the oldest line up of the season so far and the oldest team since Villa’s return to the top flight.

TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Villa face League One side Bolton for the first time since both clubs were in the Championship together in 2018-19.
We predicted a conservative line up from Gerrard for the EFL Cup tie but even we were taken aback at just how conservative Gerrard would be:
No second appearance for Robin Olsen, no debut for Ludwig Augustinsson.
Calum Chambers and Ashley Young came in as expected
But no Marvelous Nakamba or Morgan Sanson even in the squad. Their Villa careers now clearly over.
No Cameron Archer or Tim Iroegbunam in the line up but at least on the bench, as is Josh Feeney.
Of course a place for Coutinho. Standard.
And all of our delete as applicable picks Leon Bailey / Emiliano Buendía / Ollie Watkins / Danny Ings being used.
