I think Collins is out,as is Baker,so it'll probably be Delph at lb. Least they have Johnson and Silva out.

Please let us keep it tight for the first half hour,don't give away anything sloppy,frustrate them and hopefully snatch something.

[JJ-AV]

Forgot about Collins, guess NRC and Petrov are gonna have to do alot of covering if Delph and Walker are the fullbacks!

[London Villan]

It's a shame, but Manchester in the week is a nightmare to get to. Those 1800 should be given medals.

Maybe a lot are going turn up on the door tonight.  It could be poor atmosphere if not.

Battling up the M6 at rush hour aint much fun, can't see too many going on a whim as it's on itv and with the price of fuel now !!

[Oscar Arce]

It would be madness to play Delph at left back, he didn't have one direct test on Saturday, he'll have a lot more work to do at Man City.
Surely Beye or Warnock could come in?

[VillaAlways]

Surely Beye or Warnock could come in?

Our reserves just lost 3-1 to Wolves with those two numptees playing.I'd have Delph over them anyday
