Manchester City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

More chance of them getting into double figures than us getting anything from this.  Even still, I think we will keep it down to 4 or 5 if we are lucky and play to the best of our limited abilities.

4-0 to them with a hat trick for either Balotelli or Tevez.

Doesn't look a bad side to be fair,just think they have far to much quality in their reserve side,Balotelli and Tevez upfront

Ouch- far stronger than I expected.

One thing for sure there will be goals with those line ups . I believe the game is on 5 live xtra tonight.

Still think we will win this.

8-1 on an away win, lump on then son!

15 euros on it mate.

I'd have picked Holman over N'Zogbia personally but otherwise a fair enough line up.

It's on BBC One on Wednesday at 23:15.

As previously mentioned it's live on 5 Live Extra.  I'm not sure if that'll work for those of you outside the UK but it's also on AVTV (subscription may be required).  It doesn't appear to be being televised live anywhere so I doubt there's any point looking for streams.
