Title: Leicester City vs Aston Villa pre match thread - Sunday, Oct 18th - 7.15pm
Post by: Toronto Villa on October 14, 2020, 02:49:54 AM
Another bizarre kick off time. I assume we will be unchanged from the side that dismantled Liverpool. I know West Ham won there recently but I expect a very hard game and will be delighted with a point.

I'll go for 2-2; Watkins and Barkley

As a pragmatist and believer in sequences a fourth win is unexpected and unlikely.

2-0. Watkins, Targett.

I must pay more attention as I thought this was a  3pm kick off...

will be interesting to see our reaction after thrashing the Scousers and Leics after their thrashing by the kit steelers.


I would be happy with a point as I would of been the last time we played at 7.15pm on a Sunday, but would also take the same result....:)

If Barkley and Watkins shape up and take all there chances this time and we stay tight at the back, why not at least another 7-2 to us? Lets re-write the record books ;D. Its great to have real optimism about Villa at the moment, hopefully it rolls on beyond Sunday.

Because the Aston Villa I know and love will undoubtedly follow up their best result for years with a lacklustre defeat.

Obviously I'm hopeful this is not the case this time.

One thing that's slightly holding me back from betting on us to win the league is that we have benefitted from the element of surprise a little - against Sheff (bringing on a substitute as the corner we scored from was taken. Classic Distraction technique) and Liverpool (they wouldn't have had any analysis available to see what difference Barkley could make).

Leicester are a really good team, this will be an interesting test.
The obligatory Vardy goal for them, Ollie for us. 1-1.

If we score at a rate of 7 to every Liverpool 2, it'll be 14-0. I'm building myself up so much that I'm going to be disappointed with anything less than double figures, and I fully expect Söyüncü to be sent off within ten minutes of kick-off.

Get at them and exploit their defensive frailties. It's not a game to park the bus, the league is crazy at the moment. We actually look comparitively well organised compared the rest of the division (right now), so keep on countering fast and direct. We'll get some joy. It should be a good game. We've got to be fancying a result.

Agree with this, they have been a bit up and down in 2020. Ndidi is still out which will help our midfield as is Pereira who'd likely target us down the left. I've selected a Leicester win (worked against Liverpool) although we're due a draw. Our cause will be helped considerably if we don't give silly penalties away against Vardy which did for Citeh.

thought we would lose against Liverpool and was just hoping for a positive performance
but then we went and gave them a good seeing too

thought we would lose against Leicester and would have taken a draw and a solid performance
but now after the thrashing I think our confidence must be Sky high

so am expecting we give them a good hard spanking 1-3

we probably won’t lose another game this season to be honest (and win the FA Cup)

While I went for a draw what will be most important is how we approach this game and how we play following on from the Liverpool game. It wasn't just the PL that took notice but the whole football world. While nobody expects us to "do a Liverpool", but a very solid display will be a bigger indicator as to what we are capable of this year across an entire season.

As outstanding as McGinn was against Liverpool, is it realistic for him to play 90 mins on Sunday after three games during the week? Especially after his injury problems last season, the last thing he needs is some kind of fatigue related injury.The obvious replacement Hourihane had a similar schedule so it's hard to know what we should do.

I'm not sure what players Leicester have in the same boat, Vardy and Maddison will be back at full fitness you would think.

Should be a good game this one, 2-2.

As outstanding as McGinn was against Liverpool, is it realistic for him to play 90 mins on Sunday after three games during the week? Especially after his injury problems last season, the last thing he needs is some kind of fatigue related injury.The obvious replacement Hourihane had a similar schedule so it's hard to know what we should do.
Ramsey's chance to play a box-to-box role?
Somewhat also depends on how Luiz's fitness is too.

I think Ramsey has potential but is miles off it physically to be honest

Leicester are walking wounded apparently.

Ndidi and Pereira out long-term, Soyuncu and Amartey definitely out, Maddison, Evans, Vardy and Praet all doubtful.

Their forum is predicting:

Schmeichel

Castagne Fofana Fuchs Justin

Mendy

Choudhury Tielemans

Under Iheanacho Barnes

Doesn't look all that scary.

Vardy's a doubt?  He always seems to be a doubt when against us and always plays.  Even so, which of those 2 or 3 will sit on Jack?  They'll have to watch the pace of Watkins and the marauding runs of Barkley too.  Then there's the Scottish terrier who is back in form.  I can only see a Villa win.

Yes good news on the injury doubts, although as Brend says Vardy always seems to make it against us.

Rob Dorset on Twitter saying same thing:
#lcfc major injury problems to face #avfc. Vardy is a doubt after a scan on calf injury, both CBs Soyuncu (v likely out) and Evans (abdominal) returned from international duty with injuries. Amartey (hamstring), Praet (knee) serious doubts. Maddison (calf) is ok for SOME of game.

He didn't start the cup semi final and so we could attack them much more without worrying about him on the counter. Huge if he's out.

Liking our chances in this one if these injuries are true (although looking at Brenton's comments he thinks Jonny Evans and possibly Vardy will still start for them). Don't think we'll lose this, will go 2-2.

If Barkley and Watkins shape up and take all there chances this time and we stay tight at the back, why not at least another 7-2 to us? Lets re-write the record books ;D. Its great to have real optimism about Villa at the moment, hopefully it rolls on beyond Sunday.

Because the Aston Villa I know and love will undoubtedly follow up their best result for years with a lacklustre defeat.

Obviously I'm hopeful this is not the case this time.
my thoughts exactly LeeB. Hopefully they prove us wrong

Seriously if there's anyone who has SKY and for whatever reason just can't afford the £15 to watch the Villa but really would like to

DM me your bank details and I will pay for it
we're a Villa family don't want anyone missing out due to hard times at the moment

I’m hoping for a JG hat trick, with him whipping off his shirt to reveal a navy waistcoat for the cameras to feast on.

Fancy a 2-2 aswell.

West Ham did a proper number on them last time out so hopefully we've studied that. Defended deep but had Bowen, Antonio and Fornals breaking past their high line regularly. We've certainly got that ability with the front players we now have.

How high we park our backline will be depending on whether Vardy makes it I suspect, was way too easy for him at Villa Park.

I don't have sky so I normally buy a now tv day pass when our matches are on sky and watch it though the now tv app on our apple box.

Obviously I can't do that for this one so I've bought the PPV. From what I've seen, if you're using a laptop as I will be you need to watch it on the sky box office player. This doesn't support casting to the TV so does anyone know whether I'll able to watch it on the TV by connecting it to the laptop with a HDMI cable?
NO  blocked by Sky
I know casting is blocked but HDMI to the telly is working.
