Villa vs. City Pre-Match Thread

I'm surprised that MP has kept the same formation. I thought he would have reverted to one of the Ferns and Yaya in a midfield two.

However, we are now seeing a more pragmatic set-up and I'm sure Fabian will get some more minutes under his belt and when fully fit, will be able to slot into this formation to spell either Dinho or Nando.

Plenty of goals in this line-up and if Dinho plays as well as he did in Spain on Tuesday, there will only be one winner today.

Nice piece on Gio there.

Good starting line up, would've preferred Navas to Sterling but that is all.

According to NBC Villa's best attacking threat is Scott Sinclair. I've never felt more confident going into a match.

Perfect starting line up - we need to forget that Fernandinho is a defensive midfielder. He's not, he's box to box and can be lethal in the final third however he also knows how to defend so is getting to be a master of all trades

Sure souness as a soft spot for us.

Pleased Navas is getting a break, he's earned one, been very good over the last few games.

I'm not sure about this formation either. I'd have Navas, sterling and de bruyne on from the start but lets see what happens in the first 45 mins hopefully we'll get an early goal.

I was thinking that they way we play against Palace its suitable for this game.Navas maybe needs a rest but i would play Iheanacho .

"Fabian Delph, is a wanker". How very predictable.
