Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is looking forward to clashing with new Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood.
It will mark Sherwood's first game in charge of Villa.
"He comes over as a confident guy and seems to be quite forthright," Hughes observes, "and prepared to tell people what he thinks, which isn't a bad trait.
"But you have to balance that out by putting an arm around people at times.
"Tim comes across as a positive guy, so will be working on their positive thinking.
"They've got a new manager and so inevitably there will be something of a new-manager bounce."
