In a special bonus episode we're joined by Birmingham Live writer, Pat Rowe (@PGR_Analytics on Twitter) to review Villa's season so far.

We focused on Dean Smith's move to a 3-5-2 formation: how it has worked? Which players have excelled in it? Does it leave Aston Villa vulnerable to the likes of Son Heung-min when they have more space to work with? We question whether Villa should stay with the formation, which brought wins over Everton and Manchester United, or be willing to regularly change things up.

Pat also explains how the ever improving Jacob Ramsey could save Villa millions in transfer fees and why Douglas Luiz was September's statistical player of the month.

In the 'Spicy Question', we give our thoughts on the mystery of why Ezri Konsa has not yet been picked for England.

There is also a detailed lookahead to the upcoming Wolves match at Villa Park.
