Aston Villa face coverings available from avfc.
I don't know how people feel about that one.

I imagine the players have them though not during the matches. Subs maybe

AVFC provisional fixtures up until July 2nd:

17th June: Sheffield United 6pm (H) (Sky)
21st June: Chelsea 4:30pm (H) (Sky)
24th June: Newcastle 6pm (A) (BT)
28th June: Wolves 12pm (H) (BT)
We should be match fit by end of June.

Wonder how many minutes Matt Targett can handle
He's rife for being injured.
I won't say I told you so when the inevitable happens but I will say  I told you so !

Hopefully Matt doesn’t get injured and you won’t be able to tell us all you told us so.

I've not seen this mentioned yet. Bench increased from 7 to 9.

To stay up the two must win games in my mind are Palace at home and Newcastle away.

I think we match up well v Newcastle who are one of the few prem clubs who don't attempt to press in midfield. God knows what training schedule Bruce has been giving them in lockdown given it's lax at the best of times so think we can go there and win like we did at Burnley.

Palace are good away but really can't see them caring much at end of the season when they'll be just mid table and wanting the season to end. That said we will lose the atmosphere for night games which seems to get extra 10% out of this squad which is reflected in the results.

Can't see us staying up if we don't win those two games. Think 4 wins will be enough.

Watching the Benfica game which has artificial crowd noise. Never thought I’d say this but it works well! Plenty of Benfica chants throughout the game and we’ve also had boos and whistles for the ref when he booked a home player and also for an away player following a bad challenge!

Far better than absolute silence.

It was an awful game regardless, Porto and Sporting clube (If Mark Kelly is still around) were far more interesting.

One thing from watching those those games is the standard of goalkeeping in Portugal league is abysmal.

Expect the standard bitterness if we win.

So am I right in thinking that none of our first 4 games are free to air?

I don't think you are, from what I can make out the 6pm sky slot will air on Pick as well as sky sports so is free. I'm not sure about the BT games.

I haven't seen anything saying BT will make any of their games free to air. Sky are putting out 25 free to air and all the BBC and Amazon games will be free to air.

When you say they're free on Amazon, do you mean you don't have to pay any extra on top of what you pay for amazon?
