Davies played LCB in pre season, so I’m expecting him to start there.
If Udogie was fit yes. Makes no sense to play a left back at LCB and a right back at Left Back in Emerson

Unless Phillips or Dorrington plays tomorrow I expect it to be Porro/Dier/Davies/Emerson.If Udogie was fit yes. Makes no sense to play a left back at LCB and a right back at Left Back in Emerson
I doubt we would move Bissouma from his most influential position where he's key to how we play in midfield. With VdV and Romero out it's more vital we have someone comfortable on the ball in there. Hojbjerg is fine in front of those 2 but I wouldn't fancy him in front of the others at CB.This is what I expect:
Vicario
Porro Dier Phillips Royal
Hojbjerg
Sarr Bissouma
Kulusevski Son Johnson
And, they will have to go near 90
Bryan, and Bentancur will play, and maybe Lo Celso.

Agree with this if they both start the back line has to be a least 20 Yards deeper.Can't have Dier and Davies in a high line. Has to be Phillips. Need a bit of pace there.

Not sure they will need to be electric to beat Ben for pace, wind up would probably doI think he'll opt for experience and go with Davies....Wolves arent electric without Neto
He apparently has a bit of pace but we'll see. I'd be surprised if he isn't quicker than Dier and Davies though.Is Phillips quick?
The Davies or Phillips choice is going to be interesting. Of course if Phillips starts then Davies might start LB. Even if he doesn't start I think there is a high chance we will see Phillips as Ange will probably sub the LB at some point.Can't have Dier and Davies in a high line. Has to be Phillips.

Ange said Porro is fine and trained today. No need for PEH at RB.So it could be:
Vicario
Hojbjerg
Phillips
Dier
Emerson
Bissouma
Sarr
Bentancur
Johnson
Kulu
Sonny
With the primary function of both full backs going into central midfield I think PEH could do a job at RB personally.
Then for Villa we will have Udogie back, Porro back and hopefully Maddison back so it’s just central defence where the problems lie.
Surely it picks itself:I think he'll opt for experience and go with Davies....Wolves arent electric without Neto
Plus Davies is fully fit so might start at LCB or LB. Also sounded like he didn't think Bentancur was ready to start yet which would make complete sense.Ange said Porro is fine and trained today. No need for PEH at RB.
I don't think he'll start Davies LCB, he'll give Phillips a chance its this situation that we bought him for surely and apart from anything else we need his pace, Davies and Dier as a CB combo will be suicide in Ange's set-up.The Davies or Phillips choice is going to be interesting. Of course if Phillips starts then Davies might start LB. Even if he doesn't start I think there is a high chance we will see Phillips as Ange will probably sub the LB at some point.
Yeah i don't like it ether, i guess it depends on what Ange thinks of him in training. TBF he might still be too raw, hope not tho as your completely right re speed with Davies and Dier. Would be horrible.I don't think he'll start Davies LCB, he'll give Phillips a chance its this situation that we bought him for surely and apart from anything else we need his pace, Davies and Dier as a CB combo will be suicide in Ange's set-up.
I think Emerson will start LB mate, think Ange prefers his athleticism and ability on the ball compared to Davies.Plus Davies is fully fit so might start at LCB or LB. Also sounded like he didn't think Bentancur was ready to start yet which would make complete sense.
