Parody: Aston Villa squad group chat revealed for Birmingham clash with Agbonlahor pushing for start

It’s the second Second City derby of the season this weekend as Aston Villa host their near rivals Birmingham City in the Championship.
The first edition of this fixture this season certainly wasn’t a memorable occasion as the pair played out a 0-0 draw at St. Andrew’s.
Things should be a bit more entertaining this weekend, though, with both in decent shape and the hosts currently leading the way in the form table.
Villa’s players will be gearing up for a massive game this weekend right now, then, and it remains to be seen whether Gabby Agbonlahor makes a rare appearance with him passed fit for the clash.
He’s got a habit of scoring in these games despite not playing much the rest of the campaign and so, ahead of the game, we’ve taken a more ‘amusing’ – if you can call it that – look at what the players might be saying in their group chat ahead of kick-off:
