Good to see Johnny Stones back.

Calling @Eccles Blue!

 

[KingGeorge]

Not a pessimist nor an optimist just a plain old realist. Cant see a win anywhere tonight unfortunately. Hope I'm badly mistaken.

We basically need Haaland to have a blinder. Maybe bang in two early.

Not a cat in hell's chance of a win.

 

[Blue warrior]

Diaby n Watkins have pace and pace has been a killer against us lately.

 

[jimharri]

If that's true, i'm surprised!

No Ake? No Kovacic?

That midfield seems light, even with Stones playing in there.

For any other side, that midfield quartet would be not at all shabby. But no Rodri, and no KDB? Hmm.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Not a big fan of that line up….would prefer Silva in the middle breaking up play rather than Alvarez, and that midfield of stones and Lewis looks piss weak…even with Akanji supporting…

 

[KingGeorge]

Not a fan of Akanji lately

Dias too tbf, think we're shipping goals again tonight

I was an advocate for Dias sitting against Tottenham, and I thought he outperformed by expectations in that game. It is possible he is nearing better form.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I can't bring myself to predict a defeat for Citeh (even if logic says it's possible), so I'll go with a draw; Rodri and, to a lesser degree, Grealish being out rules out a win. In my opinion. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

so you going to completely bypass haaland the almost ballon winner , electric foden , woolian and bernie the duracell ? There are goals in them top class players .

 

[tregyblue61]

The "big guns" are at the swamp tonight meaning, it's the pick of the games tonight.

Nice to see that pearl of wisdom, Eni Aluko, covering the mid table clash at Villa Park.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

My only hope is that they dont go into tonights match with the same blase attitude they seem to have had recently. We score, get another and lock up shop.. We can do it because we've done it before.

 

[jimharri]

When's the last time we had over 30% predicting a defeat? Hard to blame them, actually. I've gone with a draw, but that's my heart talking, not my head.

 

[Blue Til Death]

A few on here talking down the chance of a City win tonight.. Not me, I can’t see anything other than a City win..
We normally step up to the plate when the chips are down, that’s what’s going to happen tonight …!

 

[Don Karleone]

The closer we get to kick-off, the more confident I'm getting. Leffe has nothing to do with it.

Hearts vs Rangers, shirley?

 

[mscenterh750]

Erling to have a David White moment tonight.

Don’t remember the last time this much low confidence on here .

Yes our confidence has been dented a bit. To score seven goals in two games and still not win is crazy really. That side is more than capable of winning but we need everyone on it all game.

 

[axlgod]

3-2 City

Yup, winner in extra, extra, extra injury time.

 

[deano ou812]

Been on the bench the last 3 games mate

Yeah I know but hasn’t come on in any of them suggesting he’s still not 100% suspensions and how the defence has been performing mean he may well be rushed back maybe the plan was to play him in the villa regardless but you’d have thought he’d of got minutes of some sort in those previous games ..
