Villa will be looking to begin their home campaign with a bang against Everton - and Paul Lambert is eager for the fans to help by "raising the roof!"

Villa suffered defeat on the opening day against West Ham but they'll be desperate to bounce back when football returns to B6 on Saturday.

Lambert will be making his way into the dugout for the first time, while Karim El Ahmadi, Ron Vlaar, Matt Lowton and Brett Holman are set for their claret and blue debuts.

Cheer on Lambert's Lions with a vengeance and really get Villa Park rocking to its foundations!

Lambert, speaking passionately at the fans forum, said: "I need the crowd. I have always said that the most important people at any club are the fans and the players.

"If I can get them bouncing off each other, it will take off.

"You'll raise the roof with the noise. That's what I have to get, first and foremost."

Heed the advice of the gaffer and sing your hearts out for the lads on Saturday.
