Megson wants former Villa players to perform

Bolton manager Gary Megson believes it is time for his former Aston Villa players to deliver on their return to the midlands this weekend.[LNB]Zat Knight and Gary Cahill will make up the centre-half pairing for Bolton as they take on Villa in Saturday's Barclays Premier League game at Villa Park.[LNB]Both players were recruited by Megson from Villa, with Cahill having already gone back to play with his new club there twice over the last two seasons. On both those occasions it proved a humiliating experience, with Villa winning the fixture 4-0 and 4-2, and Megson hopes that Cahill - and now Knight, who was also shown the door by Martin O'Neill - will feel they have a point to prove on Saturday.[LNB]"I'm sure they will feel like that - being ex-Villa players they will want to go and put a show on," Megson said.[LNB]"In the past we've had ex-Villa players like Gavin McCann, Jlloyd Samuel and Gary Cahill who to be perfectly honest, have never done themselves justice when they have gone back to Villa Park.[LNB]"It will be nice if we can go there and the two lads perform in a way that I know they can."
