I really hope we put a strong team out for this, the matches with Portsmouth, Blackburn, and Reading in the cups last year made the season a lot more memorable than it would have otherwise been.Im convinced a prediction from me will jinx it for everyone and Im getting nervous already.

[Pete3206]

3-0 win

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Comfortable 2-0 win.

[Chris Smith]

Would hope to see Nathan and Bannan get a game and us score a few to get the confidence up.

[PeterWithesShin]

3-1 win.

[alanclare]

1-All draw. Albrighton

[TaxDodger]

Would like to see a strong side too, hopefully including the Fonz. I'll go for a comfortable 3-0 win. Heskey 23, Albrighton 64. Delfouneso 87.

[Legion]

1-All draw. Albrighton

Extra-time?

[Dante Lavelli]

I'd rest Ashley Young and Downing and play Bannan, Ireland and Albrighton as the attacking three.  Carew to lumber around up front.

[AV82EC]

I'd go with Guzan, Beye, Collins, Clark, Warnock, Sidwell, NRC, Albrighton, Ireland, Bannan, Carew.  Young, Heskey and Downing on the bench if required.  Personally I'd keep Emile locked up all week, fed on a diet of raw meat ready to rip Roger fucking Johnsons head off.

Oh 2-0.   

[levico]

More disaster I suspect. This season is nosediving - Blues will be the next disaster - what does Houllier understand about this local derby?

[UsualSuspect]

I'd like to see the strongest possible line up for an hour

 A straightforward win for the Villa here.
