Aston Villa winger Yannick Bolasie was impressive in his last appearance and should start against Birmingham City.
Dean Smith should start Aston Villa winger Yannick Bolasie for the first time since he took charge against Birmingham City.
Bolasie has had to play a rotational role since arriving at Villa in the summer, due to his lack of fitness.
The wide-man has looked short of his best for much of his time at Villa Park, but his showing against Derby County proved how much damage he can do.
Bolasie carved open Derby’s defence on numerous occasions after being introduced as a substitute during the contest.
The Everton loanee helped Villa to a 3-0 victory over Derby, and his performance should have convinced Smith to give him a starting role against Birmingham.
Although Villa appear to be clicking into gear under the guidance of Smith, Bolaise could make them even more of an attacking threat.
And the skilful winger would have the potential to terrify Birmingham’s defence, if he was given the chance to start from the off in two weekends’ time.
