Isn't Mcginn having a rest today?

If he is then AEG will start on right surely.

He should have been rested at Man City and other hardly likely to win games in readiness for giving his all for games like today, Norwich and Watford.

I'd be surprised if SJM is rested today. This game should be made for him.

He was also on the pitch at half-time during the midweek game with Grealish pinging balls to each other. Just didn't strike me as someone about to be or wanting to be out of the firing line.

Here we go for a prediction. Mcginn to start and to score at least once (hides behind sofa with fingers firmly crossed).

[Villa Lew]

Going 2-1 Villa, Wesley to get the winner!

[Scovilla]

All I want for Xmas is a Villa win.
Come Villa boys.

How much rest does a young professional footballer need
I would have thought a week is long enough two weeks and your losing match fitness

best way of regaining form is to play your way back to form not sitting around with your feet up
I think this resting stuff when players have had whole weeks between games is one of the biggest myths in modern day football

Nurse!

[Lastfootstamper]

Win by a couple or three, to stay on track for my prediction of when we've played everyone once, we'll be out of the bottom three and not have a negative goal difference.

The m6 north from star city was totally blocked due to a multi car pile up when we drove pest an hour or so ago.

Traffic backed up past the m42 junction.

If you’re about to go to the match in that direction, might want to check.

[Jon Crofts]

The wait to be served in The Barton’s has become more like the bars in the Upper Trinity.
