Ake next to Zinchenko sounds fun*.

* - It doesn't.

If the leaked team is correct, we really are down to the bare bones as a squad. Hope Foden, Grealish and De Bruyne have travelled just so we have options on the bench if needed.

Why the fuck would a city fan leak a team hours before a game giving an advantage to the opposition. Even worse who is leaking it?

Pep said it was an emergency.

You have to wonder why Palmer and McAtee were playing for the EDS on Monday given the shortages at the first team.

If the above is correct, looks a decent side to me, no excuses. It’s Villa ffs, can only imagine the negativity is down to slippy winning a couple of games.

Villa have some good players tbf. Watkins, Bailey, Buendia is good front 3.

Waffle.

Also, tripe

It's McGinn in midfield who I worry about

Gerrard has been prepping his side for this for 3 days, he's not going to abandon all that and change it because he sees Zinchenko is starting.

 

[Claytop]

I mean, it's not a bad team but Gundo & Walker are big losses. Just need to get the three points and move on.

Yeah he's quite underrated outside of Villa imo.
