View: Three ways Aston Villa can line-up in defence v Hull after Bruce reshuffle
4-2-3-1: Two new signings start
In what is Bruce’s most likely formation to face Hull, Terry will start alongside Aston Villa Wales international James Chester at centre-back in what is a new-look defence.
El-Mohamady will start on the right side of defence, while Neil Taylor is expected to beat Jordan Amavi to the left-back slot to make up a four-man defence which boasts plenty of experience.
Possessing a mixture of everything, it would take a lot to break down such a back line next season as Bruce looks for a fifth career promotion.
