Aston Villa (A) - Wed 6th Dec, 20:15 | PL | Pre Match Thread

[Sky Blue]

City TV: David James and Emile Heskey in the studio. Kinell, couple of partisan blues there.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Good to see Nunes back in the squad. I know he’s had a false start but we need the numbers, especially in midfield.

 

[sh249]

Hopefully Lewis will be a bit deeper alongside Stones.
More than enough in that front four to score a few. Good balance.

 

[tweety]

Think with Stones back we'll win

 

[big gaz]

Gundog must have passed those pics of Peps Mrs onto Ake ;-)

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I'm going for McGinn getting booked on his 8th foul and Akanji getting booked for his first fair challenge.

 

[Lavinda Past]

He might as well leave

To be brutally frank, I think he's been treated like shit by Pep this season.

Perhaps because he is.

We'll still get £50m for him because football is mad.

Anyone else fearing the worst tonight?

Villa are 4/1 to win at home (great odds). They will score 2 minimum against that side. We're playing the exact same shape/way that seen us concede 8 in the last 3 games.

 

[clarion]

Will our England defensive midfielder Phillips ever get a game?

No excuse for not playing Kalvin tonight.
Stones and Lewis in front of him, Nunes and Kova in the midfield is very well known Pep’s brain fart.

 

[Chak19]

Walker playing again despite his crap form, he better perform this time.
