10 games so far ...only 4 wins . WAKE UP

With a 2-week break after this match, I can only see Pellegrini picking his strongest possible team. I'd like to Jovetic make some kind of appearance. I get the feeling Lampard will start; he might come off at half time though. I expect Mangala to start and to have a solid game after his mistakes last time.

The importance of another away win cannot be underestimated especially going into the break as we did last time off the back of a home loss.

The players have to be pumped up for a top performance and 3 points today and it matters none that Villa have been soundly beaten by two clubs with tickets on a top three finish this year leading up to this game.

Getting the train to Aston, arriving at 1 o'clock. Can anyone recommend any pubs?

Hoping we see the Vince, Mangala, Fernando spine today for the first time. It should really allow us a lot more freedom for the fullbacks to get forward and license for Yaya to stay further up the pitch.

I want to see this today....

...and then any 3 from Silva, Sergio, Jovetic, Dzeko, Navas and Jimmy ahead of them.

The cap and gown is the usual one everyone goes in
£2 entry but we have a full side of the pub,it's very close to the away end

Gonna try the hare of the dog pub today I've heard it's free to get in there. Fuck if I'm going in that cap n gown or whatever its called these days and its too wet to be drinking on the street.

A nice, steady, comfy, no frills, NO SCARES 2-0 win will do me grand, thanks very much.

That's not the City way, unfortunately. You can almost guarantee it won't be straightforward.

Sad to say, that's actually true.
