What channel number is this 'Amazon Prime'?!

I want us to go there and give Slippy G a lesson and a welcome back to the PL.

If Grealish plays, he won’t give 100% imo. He won’t want to see his former club humiliated.

I think Ake might play because Pep will want a left footer in the back 4. Peps talked about wanting to give him more game time, he will surely play against leipzig but wouldn't be surprised to see him start this too.

Cancelo conveniently gets his 5th booking for this and sits out both Watford and leipzig giving him a nice weeks rest.

If anybody that's been missing is back I can't see them coming straight back in, hopefully bench for foden and kdb, don't expect Grealish to be invovled even if he is fit.

Grealish shouldn't be anywhere near this game

Was more worried about the West Ham game than this one.

Palace had almost 65% of possession vs them which I found pretty suprising.

Hopefully Phil is back for this one. Will be interesting to see what Pep does with Grealish. You have to imagine if he's in the XI then Villa might be a bit more motivated?

Hope Foden is back for this.

 

[eastmanc]

I can see a comfortable 3-1 win

That’s jinxed it.

 

[Ethan23]

The message here needs to be that we outwork them.

Any complacency and we're fucked here.

I think if we pack the midfield and attack full of energy we should be sound.

Back 5 picks itself

Gundo Rodri Benardo

Sterling Jesus Foden

Maybe swap Jesus and play Foden as the 9

We are Premier League Champions. No need to wet ourselves against this lot!
