Lucas hopes for Villa start

The Brazilian played the full 90 minutes of the 4-1 hammering of Man Utd last week and is hoping his performance in that game will earn him another start this weekend.

"Everybody wants to play right now, especially after the game with United. I'm no different and I want to be involved against Villa," said Lucas.

"But you never know. Rafa always has a game plan, so I will have to wait and see if I'm in the team."
