Aston Villa vs. City Pre-Match Discussion Thread

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

Don't blame them to be honest, the majority (not all) of home fans at any clubs are fickle bastards and get one your back when you let one in, the away fans (ironically Villa are better away from home) are the die hards who'll do anything for the club.

No Silva or Aguero, that's a bit of a blow. Ah well, we have plenty of other options.

Pellegrini: "Aguero finished the derby with small pain but nothing important but it's a risk for him to play so many games"

I'd play Jovetic off Dzeko again for this one.

Me too. Balkan duo. Dzeko and Jojo behind him. They will destroy Villa / 1 : 3 for CITY /

Last season, No Silva or Aguero away from home would of meant a defeat. This season i'm not that concerned. Time for Nasri and Jovetic to put on a show and try to get a starting spot nailed down. Especially Nasri, a few more excellent performances this next week or so and Silva might find himself sitting on the bench when he's fit.

Dzeko Jovetic Nasri and Milner as a front 4 for Villa for me.

And who will be in the front in Bayern game for you. I Think it is really a tough choice.

I'd rather he was rested for Villa so he can be fit and ready for Bayern so this seems a sensible decision.
