Ty Bracey will back whatever decision Unai Emery makes for Aston Villa between Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran as starting striker against Juventus.
The Villans welcome the Italian giants to Villa Park on Wednesday (27 November) looking to secure a first win in six games across all competitions.
Ahead of the clash with the Old Lady, there is a decision for Emery to make as to who will start up front after the England international scored against Crystal Palace.
Villa podcaster Bracey, who features on the Villa Social, would be happy to see either striker start against Juventus as they both have their own qualities.
Speaking exclusively to Villa News, Bracey said: “Watkins scored in his last game and that will have done wonders for his confidence.
“I think it’s important that we get behind whatever decision is made, I’d be happy with either Watkins or Duran starting.

“Duran is more than capable of doing a job, we saw what he did to Manuel Neuer against Bayern Munich.
“*We’ve seen the impact that he’s made off the bench as well so we’ll have to see.*“
Aston Villa could start Ollie Watkins or Jhon Duran v Juventus
There is no doubt that both of the Villans’ number nines have qualities that separate them.
Watkins’ pressing and finishing are always up against the pace, power and unpredictability of the Colombia international who has proved himself at various points this season.
Juventus will represent a tough task for Emery’s side which could point to the Englishman starting and Duran being utilised as an impact substitute, just as it was against Bayern Munich.
