Pruttons selected Villa citing Derby’s recent struggles and their poor game against Nottingham Forest on Monday.
“Derby have gone off the boil completely. They were playing with so
much zip earlier in the season but have looked completely flat lately, especially at Nottingham Forest on Monday night. I’ll back Villa here.”
