Aston Villa travel to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday as the club look to acquire three points and cement their top six spot.

The Villans have had a relatively good start to the season, but need to iron out some of the inconsistencies that have plagued them this year.

Manager Steve Bruce has a number of selection headaches ahead of their visit to QPR on Saturday.

One key one is who to start up-front? Should Scott Hogan be given a start?

The £6.3m-rated striker has found life tough since arriving at Villa Park from Brentford, and he'll surely be desperate to get some game-time to start backing up his hefty transfer fee.

Should he start on Saturday?

We issue our verdicts on this....

Chris Gallagher

He'll be lucky to make the squad!

Hogan just simply isn't doing it at Villa Park and with Jack Grealish back Steve Bruce may revert to a 4-4-1-1 formation.

That's the formation he should play anyway, with Grealish, Josh Onomah or even Callum O'Hare playing behind Keinan Davis or Jonathan Kodjia if fit.

Hogan may have to wait a while before he gets another start now.

Adam Simeoni

He has to be on the bench.

Jonathan Kodjia is miles ahead of him, and Bruce is likely to go with one up top against QPR this weekend.

Hogan will certainly be on the bench, but could come on to make an impact in the second half. He needs to show something in the build up to Christmas anyway...

George Dagless

I really don't know.

With QPR so strong at home, can Villa afford to risk a striker that is so out of form?

Indeed, can they risk going two up top against the Rs who have beaten Wolves and Sheff Utd recently? I think Bruce goes with one up front and it isn't Hogan.

Alfie Burns

I’d leave him on the bench and hand a starting berth to Keinan Davis.

On paper, everyone is expecting Villa to pick up three points at Loftus Road, but Bruce will be well aware of QPR’s home record and will recognise the task at hand.

I can see Bruce flooding the midfield and leaving Davis in attack alone, I just can’t see him handing that responsibility to Hogan.
