Aston Villa (H) - Sun 22nd May, 16:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Full strength bar:
Olsen for Martinez - Rested.
Chambers for Konsa - Injured
Coutinho for Ings - On the bench.

Zinny and Ake fit but Dinho starts... he must want to give Dinho a proper send off.

With no Martinez in goal, Villa will struggle. 4-2 is my prediction.

 

[Legal Alien]

I have faith in Pep and the squad, they all know what this game means.

We are at home one, win away from the title!

COME ON CITY!!!

 

[cibaman]

We’ve no idea how fit Walker, Stones, Laporte, Ake and Fernandinho are. In the absence of that knowledge I’m happy to trust Pep to decide how to put out a back 4 which can last for 90 mins without using up all 3 substitutions

 

[BlueLou82]

From an outsider I would think Stones is CB to cope with Watkins. With Fernandinho RB to mark Coutinho/Buendia who wont do him for pace

 

[come-on-barney]

Zinny and Ake fit but Dinho starts... he must want to give Dinho a proper send off.

No room for sentiment

 

[marco]

were not playing Brazil 1974 here,this is villa a mid table team,that side is fully capable of beating them 9 times out of ten

 

[clarion]

Ake on the bench again can someone explain why this is happening

Pep.
He says nice words and puts the lad with great form on the bench.

Dinho on the backfoot vs Watkins...why
