Good to see Johnny Stones back.

Calling @Eccles Blue!

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 .

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.
