Cant wait my team would be

What about this team :) :)

Not only do you have 3 at the back , you have 3 at the back with no wing backs. Not a chance.

Our record against Villa is excellent. We are due a bad result there. We should murder them, but we have become a 'big game' for Villa and it wouldn't surprise me if this ended up as a draw.

To avoid draw it is important to score early in a game, have early lead so they will open more, then our strikers will finish them.

I know i am just joking around. I think the team which MADCHESTER CITY made is GREAT for me.

For Villa:

Hart
Richards Kompany Nastasic Kolarov
Fernandinho Yaya
Milner Aguero Nasri
Negredo

For Bayern:

Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Nastasic Clichy
Fernandinho Yaya
Navas Silva Jovetic
Aguero

How can you leave Dzeko out for two matches?

Well it's either Dzeko, Negredo or Jovetic out for 2 matches, or Aguero out for one.
And I rate bothe Jovetic and Negredo ahead of Dzeko.

Can I just say this I like Villa, have met a few Villa fans (loads last week in Brum) and they have been great lads, reminds me so much of us in many respects

I am not going to underestimate them seeing as they have beaten Arsenal and gave chelsea a good game,even without Benteke they are young and fast, but i think we will win 2-1

This could be very dangerous.

Villa are above all else a counter-attacking team, and with City playing a lot more open game than in previous seasons, we may concede

Fabian Delph used to be one of the worst midfielders in the Premiership giving away free-kick after free-kick, but he looks to have been transformed this season.

We have got the Bayern game coming up, but I think Pellegrini will look to play his strongest team as Saturday - Wednesday, with no travel, gives us time to recover.

You don't half worry sometimes Marvin, they have not won at home all season

Team to face Villa;

HART
ZABALETA - KOMPANY - LESCOTT - KOLAROV
RODWELL
NASRI - TOURE - NAVAS
DZEKO - JOVETIC

Team to face Bayern;

HART
RICHARDS - KOMPANY - NASTASIC - CLICHY
FERNANDINHO
NASRI - TOURE - SILVA
NEGREDO - AGUERO

Decent rotation and would allow for Navas to be a fresh impact sub for the Bayern game and we would then have two fresh full backs with bags of pace to help deal with Ribery and Robben.

I am just hoping the exciting and brilliant football I have witnessed of the last 3 games continues at Villa Park

This is where I am too.

The best thing for me (stuffing those dirty rags aside) was the second string performance against Wigan, absolutely brilliant.
