So difficult to predict this one, could've done with a much easier game after that sapping 90 minutes in Greece. Not much recovery time, so it's going to be a right slog. I'd go with this line up: Ederson, Walker, Dias?, Stones?, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Bernardo?, Foden, Grealish, Haaland

The hardest team in the Prem to play against now? Going to be one hell of a game.

Yip as already mentioned tough game and more so with us having played in this sapping heat tonight,but the lads will be buzzing and the fans will be up for it big time especially first home game of new season which I think hopefully will just see us over the line ..

 

[Bob Hope]

Yes, yes ,yes fucking yes

 

[justsaying]

we will be just fine.

 

[Franny 1234]

Keep the faith
Our home form will shine through.
They will be several changes from tonight's match.
Palmer has earned a starting place.
In pep we trust CTID

 

[Goater=Legend]

They will be all over us from minute, will be some tired legs tonight.

Dias and Stones being back could get us over the line.

whilst they won well Saturday, Villa still had 16 attempts and 6 on target with 47% possession. I think Stones/Dias/Lewis and Alvarez will be back in for this one. Hopefully Bernardo too

Not an ideal fixture after tonight, but should be a cracking game. Gutted to be missing it due to holiday. Think Dias, Stones and Bernardo will all come back in.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Ake
Rodri
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Grealish
Haaland
