I think they're better than their league position suggests, they can be quite physical and after nearly beating us at VP last season and coming back from two down the season before last, Neill will have them up for it as he's approaching the last-chance saloon.
Another crummy draw I'm afraid and Bruce hangs on til we get done at Millwall.

As PWS says in thew very first post, we'll win but Bruce will then act like a twat in the post match interview and claim that he knew all along that we were going to struggle through this period but that it's all going to be fine now and he knows what he's doing. We'll follow it up by dropping points to Millwall at the weekend.

We will win 2-0 or 2-1. Preston could be one of those sides who, after bobbing along in the middle of the Championship for a while finally come unstuck this season.

4-0 with Bruce smugly giving it the big one.

We'll win and Bruce will still be in a job.

I do hope that he will be gone soon regardless of results.

Predictable team selection with a predictable huff and puff performance which we will scrape through 2-0 or 2-1

Tuanzabee will remain out of position as will Hutton and Jedinak and probably a couple more

Surely someone is telling the owners he does  not have a clue

Either Bruce's Villa to extend the run to 1 loss in 10 by winning 0-0. Or it will all come crashing down and we will lose 1-0 because the fans are hysterical or all the players are tired from playing in the World Cup yesterday.

He needs to get Grealish back into a more central position where he can influence the game more.  Not sure if Abraham will be fit, so Kodjia will play centrally if he doesn't make it.  Presuming all are fit, I would go with:

                                      Nyland

Elmohamady          Chester          Tuanzebe         Hutton

                                      Jedinak

                          Grealish             McGinn

El Ghazi                         Abraham                      Bolasie


Subs - Moreira, Bree, Taylor, Bjarnason, Hourihane, Adomah, Kodjia                           
Harsh on Hourihane, but this would also be my team (or possibly Kodj in place of El Ghazi with Boasie on the right)

This team, a good win on Tuesday followed by a sacking on Wednesday and an exciting appointment on Thursday would do me just fine.

I'd go:

Nyland

Elmohamady Chester Tuanzebe Taylor

Hourihane McGinn Grealish

El Ghazi Abraham Bolasie

Apologies for suggesting Taylor, but I'd just like to see a defence with everybody in their correct position, even if he is a bit crap.

I'm not convinced Taylors correct position is anywhere near a professional football team.
