It just wasnt funny you silly ****

Thanks for the critique you miserable ledge dwelling sky's perpetually falling mope.

Jeez, just had a look at their run of results. Rumours of their demise are greatly exaggerated. A draw wouldn’t be a bad result at all, preferably 0-0 to further enhance Don’s mystique.

We ourselves are on a great run. Just let Big Erl at them 1-3 . 2 fir Erling and Phil the other.

They've beaten teams they should be beating though give or take the Spurs game and maybe Feyenoord.

I do think the Eredivisie is quite poor at the moment though.

Fulham, Burnley, Bologna, Feyenoord and Spurs.

The Feyenoord away game was a good result but the Spurs result is overblown. They scored two brilliant goals to a Spurs team with the 17th best home record in the league. If Spurs weren't so good away (best in the league), they would be mid-table at best.

Villa has been a tough fixture for us on recent years away from home, but they haven't improved from last year and we really need to show we are serious for the title this year with a win.

They’re unbeaten in the league since August, got draws away from home at 3 tricky grounds, only 8 goals conceded all season, quality manager.

A draw here might seem like a good result come May.

Come on boys lets go there & make a statement

A score draw is always better than a 0-0 because goals conceded isn’t even considered when separating teams in the league table. Might as well be 1-1 than 0-0, but 6-6 even better.

And sacrifice Haalands current scoring run ?

 

[denTTony]

hasnt Haaland scored in 12 consecutive games, lets hope it not unlucky 13 today

He has indeed. Lewandowski’s record for this century is on the horizon:

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Hopefully see Cherki get a start. Unlikely considering it is a tricky away game for us.

Didn’t Jamie Vardy score in 11 consecutive games ? Was that just Premier league in between other competitions?

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Looks like it’s the rain/3rd kit making its debut today.

 

[DMA's]

Really intrigued by today. It will tell us a lot. Probably our biggest test since arsenal and we ironically have the advantage this time of playing Tuesday as opposed to them playing Thursday.

Win this and we are pretty much back.

1-2 city win imo

 

[CityDE]

I know Villa away hasn't been easy for us recently, but for some reason I think today we'll win 5-1. Haaland hattrick and I hope Cherki starts.

 

[Goater101]

They’re gonna be fired up. Especially when they look at the league table. I’m anticipating our first full dominant 90 mins of the season today. Let’s get at them

It is a really interesting game, not least because the league table tells you only that Villa have been unpredictable this season, and haven't scored any more goals in league games, than they've actually conceded .... so in my opinion it's definitely a winnable game for us provided that we really turn up, and that's the big question ... will we really turn up ?

Good grief, well there's a touch of optimism for you, lol!
