Bent will give them a boost , he is a club record signing so their fans will be all up for it. They haven't got a bad team , they have a very good team on paper with downing , young , bent , makoun and albrighton . Bent however can be stopped , he was kept quiet when we played sunderland 3 games in , it was fortunate that he got a penalty and won them the game. But we can kep him quiet and as long as we stop the crosses from coming in the area , then we should cope . they have pace and speed on the wings and with bent , now have some height to aim for. But their defence isn't as good as it used to be and we have a fantastic front three and with Tevez on fire and Silva showing he still has his touch on tuesday , we will no doubt cause them problems . I am willing Dzeko to score in this game as he should be giving their two centre halves a good battle . If we keep it tight at the back and not let any silly goals in or concede any stupid fouls in dangerous areas , we will be ok , well we won't lose. But this will be a hard game , they have started to pick up a bit of form and with their fans having a passion for hating us , everyone will be up for it at Villa and willing us to lose. I just hope we can get another win in the bag and if that comes at 5-4 or 10-9 , i won't care , as long as we win the game .

I think the front three will play in all three positions throughout the game and those three should be making villa shit themselves.
2-1 City , Silva and Dzeko to score
