Moore and Agbonlahor, both 25, came through the Villans' academy and played together in the first team before the former moved to West Brom in 2008. Agbonlahor, who has more than 50 Premier League goals to his name, has already found the net five times this season, and Moore believes his current form is deserving of a place in Fabio Capello's England squad. He said: "Gabby is about raw power and pace. His biggest quality is he knows where the goal is and our defence will have to be on our toes and be clever when dealing with him. "On current form he should be in the England squad, he has had a great season so far from what I have seen. "I have spoken to Garry Monk and Ashley Williams about him but they have been around a long time and watched a lot of football so they will know what to do. "As a defender you know you have to be smart in the way you play against different strikers with different qualities." Alex McLeish's Villa currently lie eighth in the table, two points and five places ahead of the Swans, making light of a difficult summer which saw the former Scotland manager make the move from fierce local rivals Birmingham. A section of the Villa Park faithful remain unhappy at having a former Blues boss in charge, but Moore, himself a Villa fan, says the supporters need to trust the judgement of chairman Randy Lerner. "You cannot fault Randy Lerner," he said. "He has been amazing for the club, he is a top man and a good chairman and the fans need to look at that and trust him." Of the pressure on McLeish he added: "Every manager in the league is under pressure. They lost some big players over the summer and it will take them a little bit of time to settle and push on again. "When you look at English football they are easily among the top six clubs in the country." Moore's best chance of featuring against his former club is likely to come from the bench, with the former England Under-21 international yet to make a league start this term thanks to the fine form of Danny Graham. He admits he is frustrated at being limited to just four substitute appearances so far this term, but is confident that manager Brendan Rodgers, who is ready to hold talks over a new long-term contract, has faith in his abilities. He said: "Of course there is a frustration, it's natural. A lot of people think it's an easy job but it is hard sitting on bench, it can get you down. "But you have to keep your head up and keep pushing, work hard every day in training, keep in best shape possible and wait to get your chance. "The manager knows what I can do. I do well every day, and I trust the manager. "The manager talks to me, I know the manager has faith in me and appreciates my qualities but if someone is doing well in your position there is nothing you can do other than work hard."
